Double it and give to neighbor
Nice try. You will not geolocate me based on my bin day
You’re a Wednesday bin day guy I can tell.
Metadata kills!
It’s published in the local newspaper, but my brilliant wife puts it in a colour coded excel sheet and hangs it on the fridge, and gives our elderly neighbors copies.
E. Never.

It’s tomorrow, but it’s 4:30am tomorrow, So all the calendars show tomorrow, but if you put it out tomorrow, they’ll already have come. Then every time there’s a holiday and you look at the calendar to see if it’s offset, you’ll have to do that math, and you never do that math at a reasonable hour, only at 1:30am when you just showered and laid down in bed.
Hard mode - yesterday was a bank holiday.
“The weatherman said the word “snow” so now we won’t be picking up this week. You’ll have to wait until next week. Sorry, not sorry. Also, your quarterly payment is due and no, we’re not going to give you a discount for the pickup that we missed.” --Republic Sanitation
How can you forget its the same day every week. The only disruption is when there is a public holiday that week binday moves one day later.
Now knowing if its recycling that week, thats wizardry and I just go based off how full my recycling bin is or if my neighbours have theres out.
there are places that don’t follow a weekly schedule but rather another number of days, presumably because it’s considered a balance of lower cost and frequent enough pickup
I’m happy with my alternating garbage/cardboard and plastics/glass weeks, with the green bin picked up every week, though. seems like a perfect schedule — just enough time to get a bin of recycling worth putting out, and with the green bin coming weekly, I sometimes struggle to even get enough garbage to bother tying the bag up and putting it out
I just have a fortnightly recurring entry in my calendar for the recycling bin.
Dude, we are species that went from arguing about who does the dishes to arguing about who fills the dishwasher… We are not paying attention to bin day… lol.
Bin day is the highlight of my week so maybe I pay an abnormal amount of attention to it.
Just look at the phase of the moon, like a normal dog-person.
Doesn’t matter, I live in an ‘apartment’, there’s a dumpster.
… you people all have houses?
Must be old, or lucky.
I just get notified by the smart home that the bin should be out (but isn’t yet). Nu clue what is on what days
Oh this post just reminded me to take the bins back in. Thanks.
Tuesday morning so put out on Monday night.
If we’re talking holiday schedule I give up and just go to the website and look at the calendar. It’s accurate!
You must live where there are few wild animals. Where I live that’s a great way to have your trash strewn all across the road by morning.
I live in NJ. So while there are absolutely animals that would do that, just not here in this specific area. Deer don’t really do that much. And the rabbits are a bit small for it. They just both eat gardens.

That’s funny. Where I am the coons, crows, and if you’re mountainous enough or at the edge of town enough, then the bears will all tear your garbage apart. My neighbours always put their garbage out the night before and then at the same time I’m putting my garbage out in the morning they’re out shoveling it back into their bins because the animals got it. Every time. It baffles me that they don’t change their habits
Live in an apartment: you don’t have to think about it.
Though I can’t say how it works everywhere, but here in Sweden all apartment buildings have trash rooms or separate “houses” with bins for everything (food waste, plastics, metal, glass etc). And many have areas of those rooms, or separate rooms, for leaving stuff that isn’t broken so others can take what’s there. About half my furniture, electronics and other random stuff are from those. I often check mine and the one where my mom lives and have a friend group chat for sharing what we find and don’t want ourselves. It’s also pretty common to collect stuff there and transport it to places where it’s given to people in need, stuff like clothing, entertainment (books, board games, dvds etc.), kitchen ware and so on.
