In our area, the town does provide recycling cans - usually we go and get them from the town when we first set up an apartment - if the tenant breaks or loses the can, they are responsible to go get  a replacement.The town does provide garbage service and the tenants can put out up to 3 garbage bags at the curb on pick-up day. 

Always contact their previous landlord, if they don't have one reject their applicayion.I place a great deal of emphases on credit score since it is a measurement of financial responsibility and financial planning.

@Brandon SturgillThanks for the response. 

@Karen Rittenhouse Thanks for that response!

Thanks @Mike Hartzog I appreciate the response.  

For tax purposes you are acquiring a personal residence(1 unit) and a rental property(2 units). 

I have told him that he needs to take the dish down and will be responsible for any repair costs.

If no response after the second try, I would start the eviction.
