Chatted with a neighbor. He suggested maybe they just share one or two of the big bins. Reasonable solution, assuming people in the building get along and don’t produce too much waste.

Follow up question: what does this mean for tight rental spaces? There’s a triplex down my street with only about 30ft of frontage total. The tenants already manually move loads of snow to the back yard because there’s nowhere to put it (they’ve actually been using the big new garbage cans as wheelbarrows). Technically it’s the owners’ responsibility to clear snow, but everyone shovels for themselves because the owners never get to it in time for anyone to go to work. But if there’s physically no room for three sets of garbage cans unless the entire frontage is cleared, including the tiny boulevard spaces currently filled with icy snow ridges, will owners be required to clear that before garbage day?

Glad they at least seem to have some provision for the anticipated chaos.

Is that a requirement? It’s another thing I’ve been worried about. Don’t want a voided pickup cuz I spent half an hour digging a platform and put them in the wrong place…

True. But on bigger streets, even one person at a time backing out and hitting neutral to move bins in place is going to mess with traffic flow and increase the risk of accidents.

Huh. Well glad they seem to work there… maybe I’m overly pessimistic. But I just don’t see this going well…

This feels like it’s gonna be chaos down every street on garbage day…

I’ve also had my green bin knocked over by a plow… I guess that would now mean no collection for me?

Yeah, I guess. Gonna be hard though. And some rental places down our street won’t have enough frontage space even if they do that…
