I share the sentiments about the new trash cans. The new green one is almost as tall as I am and barely gets through my front gate. It's almost impossible to get it through my side gate (from the place where I used to store my garbage cans).<br>
<br>
I have a tiny house and a tiny plot of land and no place to hide these new garbage/recycle cans. Nor will I ever be able to fill them. <br>
<br>
When the big blue recycling bins were handed out (and I thought those were the biggest size trash cans came in) I contacted my town council member three times to have it removed. I prefer to use the smaller yellow recycle bin...easier to hide and move around. I was basically told I was stuck with it.<br>
<br>
The only reason I use them instead of my old ones is because I can't get them in my side yard and to use my old ones I'd have to move the new ones out of the way. Where do I sign up for the opt-out program? Perhaps public works can take mine back and give them to somebody else that needs multiples (ha!) or replace ones that are destroyed?<br>
<br>

Thanks,<br>

At last a practical use for the new, 64 gallon Plus, "tote."
