    Why You Should Collect Your Garbage Bins Promptly

    by Zeero » Mon Feb 23, 2026 11:31 am

    This is my neighbour's bin. Garbage collection was last Friday, so it has been at the curb for four days. Dog owners treat private garbage bins like they are public bins.

    This is more of an issue in hot summer temperatures. Garbage pick up is every two weeks, so it is very smelly to have all that poop out in the hot sun for a couple of weeks. In my case, I store the bin on my front porch and would hate to have this smelly mess.

    I had a similar situation and ended up using junk removal in St Petersburg FL to clear out a mix of old furniture and random junk. What helped was getting their free estimate first so I knew the cost upfront, and they were able to come the same day, which saved me a ton of hassle. They even donated a couple of pieces that were still usable, which made me feel better about the whole purge.
