I don't have garbage every week and that's one reason I requested the smaller
64 gallon trash and recycling bins. One thing I do to alleviate any possi-
bility of smelly garbage is to put meat scraps and thrown away food in
doubled Walmart/Kroger plastic shopping bags. They then go in the freezer
until garbage is taken out for pick up. No smell in the refrigerator or
freezer or in the kitchen garbage can.

Recyclables are picked up monthly here and yard waste every quarter. Yard
waste is to be placed at the back of our property for the truck with the
huge claw to pick up. But all these services are paid for with our property
tax dollars; no additional charge for any of the collections.
