I put my garbage out the night before because they come early.

I’ve got a couple of early morning dental appointments set up. Not looking forward to that. Maybe I can sleep through it.

"I put my garbage out the night before because they come early."

yes...same....

I think the raccoons like that.

I put my garbage out the night before also. I never know what time they will come! We have dumpsters so I don't have to put the garbage cans out.

We're supposed to have the garbage out before 8:00 a.m. but we've been here 26 years, and they never pick up before noon at our place. Eight is too early for me. I don't like leaving it out all night.

We always put it out the night before.

If there is one night in the week it will rain, it is that night...

I do envy people with dumpsters @Donna McClure. I’ve used my obliging friends’ dumpsters when I’ve had something too big for my can. 😀

@Don Little. Our garbage men play this game where we never know when they will pick up. If you put it out the same day, they pick up at 7 a.m. and you miss them. If you put it out the night before, they pick up at 5 p.m. that day.

@Simon Ashcroft. Or snow heavily…or have a high wind that sends the cans down the street.

It is nice having dumpster for garbage, recycling & compost. That said people are often thoughtless about waiting until the night before to fill either garbage or recycling up with large objects. Also people often don't break down the carboard like they are suppose to, sigh! Apparently some pay no attention to the signs on each dumpster or looking it up online to see what is ok & what isn't. That said, I know I am not perfect!
@simon1993@joindiaspora.com proof that Murphy's Law is alive & well.

I’ve heard the same story from my dumpster owning friends @Donna McClure. Furniture left next to the garbage one and recycling put in garbage and vice versa. Arg.
