My biggest issue I think I have is with the staggered days for collection. I can live with the blue/green pickup every week - that's what happens now. What will be a pain is the black bin pickup being every week AND on a different day of the week than the others. I guess logistically I see the reasoning but the damn bins take up a lot of room on the street and basically eliminate on street parking during pick up days. This schedule now adds another day of not being able to park on your street every other week.

And naturally the drop off dates for the bins are right when we will be away on vacation so we will have to ask a neighbor to take everything up to the house when the City drops it off.
Front garages? If so why not just put the bins on the street in front of the driveway?
