Weekly trash pickup by the city

[Mark Miles]

I have a house in an area where trash gets picked up by the city once a week (mid-week). Should I rely on guests to wheel the garbage cans out to the curb every Tues night before trash pickup and wheel the cans back into the garage every Wed after trash pickup? Or should I pay a neighbor to come to the house each week and handle it for me?

Either way I go though, regardless, since trash pickup occurs on Wednesdays, that means that if new guests check-in over the weekend, the house will still have the prior guests' trash in the garage trash cans (note: there won't be any of the prior guests' trash INSIDE the house - only in the garage trash cans). Do you think this will be an issue?

Would you be bothered if you rented a house and there were trash bags inside some of the garage trash cans already? Or would you accept that, since you're renting someone else's house, it's perfectly natural that the family who owns the house (or prior guests) may have trash left behind in the garage trash cans until this week's trash pickup occurs?
