Yeah, some neighborhoods started doing recycle tubs, basically... like a storage bin as opposed to a trash can, which also seems weird. I grew up putting trash bags at the curb though and it's still very much a thing all these years later.

Do that in AZ and you'll end up with coyotes, javelina, and all kinds of nature tearing up your trash.

Why the hell doesn’t KC provide residents with three rolling trash cans with lids, one for refuse, recycle and the 3rd for yard waste?

Don’t they hire trash companies with trucks that are operated by a single person with hydrolic claw that grasps, lifts and dumps into the trash truck?

Trash bags can open up in just moderate inclement weather, and stink like shit if not properly secured…yeah…WTF???
