Hey, Ed, there should be an ordinance passed as to when you are allowed to put your trash out. I live in Hamilton Square, and my neighborhood’s trash pick-up days are Wednesdays and Saturdays. This past Saturday, after the trash was picked up, one of my neighbor’s decided to clean out what looked liked a wet crawl space and put all of the trash out to the curb on Saturday. The stuff was not in bags or trash cans and it looked like crap. We had to look at this trash till Wednesday, plus we had to look at it on Memorial Day when people have guests over for picnics and they had to look at the mess, too. Have some consideration for your neighbors and put your trash out the night before, not right after the trash has been picked up. Thank you.

But one man’s trash is sometimes another’s treasure, and if you don’t put it out early there’s no chance to pick through it.—Ed. Note
