    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.

      My whole area is like this. City and county services across the street from one another. Pensacola? :)
