We have garbage pick up and have 3 large bins. A black one for garbage, a blue one for recycled and a green one for organic. One week it's garbage and organic and and the next week it's recycled and organic. If you need to put out more garbage that the bin holds you but the black bags beside it but have to purchase a strip of garbage tags and put one day on each extra bag. With the recycling blue bags you can put out as many as you want. We also have leaf pick  up 4 times a year and put the in large paper organic bags. Sticks and branches can also be put out at the curb but must be bundled and tied with twine.

It we have old couches etc. to put out we can put out 4 large items for ten bucks and they will pick it up. Things like old stoves, washers, dryers and fridges if left by the crib are picked up for free by local scrapers. Have no complains about the town because after a snow fall they are quick to have the roads and sidewalks cleared usually before morning traffic. For my 6 car driveway I have a contractor do it and he also does my front and back law cutting. My military gives me extra money to pay for it but even if they didn't the contractors is very reasonable. I have a 10 horse, 5 forward speeds and a reverse snow blower in one of my garages. Anyone want to buy it
