Good morning Monday. It's 11:36am here. Too hot in the surrounding. Hope you're doing well. Early in the morning, my wife put the garbage black plastic bag outside because there's a garbage collection scheduled today before she will go the market. Then upon arriving, she noticed that the plastic bag was rip and and some of the raw trash been scattered. A stray animal might done this. Then, she repacked it. And put the black plastic bag inside the house to repacked. After repacking, she forgot to put back outside. Then few minutes ago, the garbage collector passed by and we've missed the garbage. Now, we have to wait until Thursday for next garbage collection. In your area, is garbage collection been everyday or there's scheduled one.

The trash collecting van comes once a day here. It comes at 8 am daily. We have a big trash collecting container nearby where you can throw your trash in case you miss the van.

Trash is collected once a week here. Very early in the morning. I usually hear the trash truck at 4 am at our house.

Garbage collection is regular. We also have a garbage room where we can leave our garbage for the utility people to collect.

@jstory07 We don't have a trash can. Only a trash bag that we used to keep inside the house. At the back. We don't put garbage can outside because some of the neighbors trash will put into our trash can.

The garbage collection is two times a week... I am hearing them collecting right now. Once we have our garbage packed we can bring up and place in the large containers on the road, we are not obliged to keep the bags at home.

@luisga814 It is very good here. We have to separate to recycle. We cannot throw the plastic, paper, glass, tin cans in the normal garbage, there are separate containers.

I no longer have a garage pick up. When I lived in a trailer park, I carried my trash to a dumpster. When I moved into my uncle's house, my mother takes the trash to a dump site or a dumpster.

@luisga814 I don't live in the trailer park anymore. I liked living there. I had great neighbors.

Oh, no! I hate it when we miss garbage collection! We only get garbage collection every week on Thursdays, so we usually have a lot of trash to go at one time.

We have once a week pick up. It used to be super early, like 5 AM, but not anymore. It can be anywhere from 6-7AM to 4PM, we never know, they say they are waiting on truck parts and are running on less trucks so the drivers are really having to pick up the slack. I put it out the night before and it's good. If I am out of town, my neighbor will do it for me, as I put hers out when she needs me to. However, most towns or cities that I know of in the US, we have to use trash cans. Most towns have gone to trash cans on rollers that you put your trash in, and roll to the street for pick up. The trucks have this fork thing that pick up the trash container, lift it upside down into the truck, shake it a time or two, and plop it back on the path.
