I walked my trash cans to the end of the driveway this morning before the kids were up.
Sometimes I'll take them down the night before, if I acknowledge the reminder I have set on my phone. Taking them down the night before is nice because then it's already done the morning of.
I can hear the bin lorry sounds about 5 minutes before they arrive.
It gives me time to panic, then discover that I did in fact remember to put them out.
Nice. I got mine and my neighbors out just as the truck came around the corner. I waited inside for him to finish so as not to be weird about it and then brought them back up.
My neighbor seems to be watching for the trash people to stop by to bring his can back in. Sometimes he is literally waiting at the curb while they empty it. For some reason this feels like it is target at me for bringing my cans in a day late.
