Sandy ...
When I moved here, we didn't have garbage pick up. Now, there is a pick up service. My problem is that I don't create enough garbage to justify the cost, so I still haul my own to the dump. Actually, I only fill two garbage cans in about three months. The service is weekly, so you can see I don't need a weekly pick up.
There are three families up the road that use the service. To a bear, a garbage can is a garbage can. Cleaning up the mess is not that awful. Basically, for me, it's cleaning up litter. It's not all gooey and stinky and I have bags down there to re-bag all of the stuff the bear has spread around. It's just another chore.
