 We live on a farm and have just a "guy in a truck" pick up our stuff. He drives all the way down our drive w/o us having to push everything out to the street corner. So we try to be really nice about it and keep it to one can and a couple of bags on the side. (nt) - OurGoldenApples 08/21/2008 11:31:08 CDT (0)
- Ummm, I think it was like 5 or 8 cans or 12 - 15 bags or something. We put 1 can out ever other week. (nt) - xixstar 08/21/2008 11:36:23 CDT (0)
 We have a private service and it's unlimited. (I'm such a city girl, I never even knew places existed where the city or county didn't just come get it!) (nt) - Nine-Arrows 08/21/2008 11:39:29 CDT (0)

 In our community, they don't have garbage cans... but you can put out as many as you want. We normally have 4 - 8. Trash days M & Th. with TH being recycle too... we have 2 recycle bins, still not big enough, and the DON'T take GLASS!!!!! (nt) - Babyfactry 08/21/2008 13:16:47 CDT (0)
- Ours doesn't matter since we don't live in the city or have trash pick-up. We just pay a yearly fee to take our garbage and recyclables to the transfer station. (nt) - melsmunchkins 08/21/2008 14:08:11 CDT (1)

 we can choose between a huge can or a small can. we obviously use a big one. we can pile as high as we want, as long as it doesn't fall out. if it falls out, or if there are any bags around the can, they charge extra. (nt) - skigirl6 08/21/2008 15:47:05 CDT (0)

- The city gives us one trash can one recycling bin (but since we live in a converted 2 family, we have an extra trash can we use for yard waste) But, if you have an alley you use the dumpsters. (nt) - Tiddlywinks 08/21/2008 22:13:26 CDT (0)
- Our trash guys take whatever we put out there - canned, bagged, just sitting next to the can, whatever. I know this is not the case in a neighboring city where they have to have only one can, certain bags, etc. but here, anything goes! lol (nt) - wildrose 08/21/2008 22:56:48 CDT (1)

- um, we do just what you described (nt) - msjennbug 08/22/2008 14:35:15 CDT (0)
- It depends on how much laundry needs to get done. Usually I fold everything and they put it where it goes. Sometimes, I have them fold thier own clothes and put them away. Other times, I make them divide up the towels and rags, fold them up and put 'em away.. (nt) - mommyto2and2 08/22/2008 14:52:31 CDT (0)
 I have tried everything to get these kids to do laundry. NO WAY! I might get downstairs to switch loads and put the dry stuff on the folding table.I get to fold it around 11 pm if I am lucky. Most times the kids will go and dig throw the pile of dry stuff and find 1 item while tossing 90% of it on the floor- where it mixes with the dirty stuff and we begin again.
