Oh. I have never heard of this. If it is a thing here I have no idea what it would be called or how to find it. Thus it is legit possible it is a thing here too, just not where I live and/or not that I have ever heard of.

Where I live we have one big wheely bin for garbage that we put out at the street every week, one big wheely bin for recycling that we put out at the street every other week, then certain parts of the year they collect yard waste as long as it's either in a labelled bin or a big paper bag. They do that on the same day they collect recycling. We don't pay a fee for any of that but I assume it's paid for in taxes as I do live in city limits. It's slightly different where my mom lives, in a suburb in that she has to buy stickers for her garbage bin, and her garbage and recycling wheely bins are done every week, and her yard waste can be loose or even in plastic bags. At the fancy neighborhood where I work at the horse barn they have giant wheely bins for garbage and recycling, but they always leave them at their house. On pickup day, a pickup truck comes down their driveway, collects the bins, takes them to the street or someplace nearby where they get dumped into trucks, then brings their bins back. It's kind of wild.

I know some larger apartment complexes have dumpsters where you're supposed to put your garbage, but that also sounds different than what you're talking about.

For big garbage like furniture or mattresses you have to sign up for special large waste collection and they tell you a date in the future where it will be collected, so you put it out at the street that day. I think there's a limit of 5 things at a time for that and I do not think there is a fee.

So yea. Unsure if just where I live is odd, I am just unaware, or it's not a thing here period. Unhelpful I suppose.
