If the municipality gives you certain size bins and collects every
week, why would you want to keep the bins back until they are filled
(months later) with rotting and smelly stuff? I can fill the recycle
and the compost but there is no way I can fill the trash. But I put
them out anyway because I am getting charged whether they are full or
not.
