I live in a tourist town, and my side of the street is the incorporated city, while across the street is unincorporated county. As such, they have a different trash day, which is Thursdays, while mine is Friday. That said, my closest full time neighbors live 4 houses up the road around a bend in county, so I don’t have day heads up usually.
Though I did remember today. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
I also live in a tourist town. Theres a private company that picks up garbage, but you set the day of the week. Most of the STR caretakers either set theirs for like Tuesday (which tends to be changeover day) or do it themselves, and almost every house has a little wooden hutch that people punched trash in to be collected/ take themselves. There is no putting the bin on the curb to be colected though- they trash co always empty the hutch for people.
Every once in a while, you’ll drive through a block, and one random person will have put out their bin for whatever reason, and the whole neighbor hood will have copied them.
Tbe phenomenon has its own little Facebook group for locals to share when it happens.
We have two trash services in competition. 🤷🏻 Wasteful, I know, but the competition keeps prices down and service up. Never had such solid trash service. :)
I was house sitting once and tried this… turns out the garbage system in that area is privatized and they all have different garbage days. Which is fucking insane imo.
the answer is: Copy the neighbors.
Always copy the neighbors.

I’d invest in a calendar reminder every week. Probably your best bet.
Eh don’t worry, I usually don’t forget because my wife will go bananas
Neighbors house is 50/50 city / county.
He pays prorated split taxes to both but gets trash and recycling from both.
Lucky bastard.
That actually pretty handy
My whole area is like this. City and county services across the street from one another. Pensacola? :)

Someone has to be the neighbor everyone copies.
Copy the binfluencer.
