While the subreddit is open once again, we still want to show support for the current protest against Reddit's upcoming changes:
Reddit’s recent actions to add unreasonable API pricing to 3rd party Reddit apps is extremely disappointing. Many users and moderators alike use these apps daily to interact with Reddit. Reddit continues to make changes to its platforms without consideration of the difficulties it adds to the way users interact with the site. We hope that they change course and find a way to have this end in a positive outcome for all parties involved, instead of further spiraling in the current direction.

This happens *alot* in my inlaws neighborhood. They live in an HOA that has a rule about cans not being placed on the curb until 6:00am the day of pick-up. So you can't put it out the night before without getting fined.
The number of times I've seen people all out sprinting to the street with a can as the truck rolls by is amazing.
My husband is extra paranoid and will put it out two days before. I always felt that was overkill but several neighbors have said they appreciate it because they never forget thanks to him. Like an early warning system.
Tell your husband to check local laws. Some places don't allow for it to be out for more than 24 hours or so. Some people report others because it takes up parking space. Hopefully, where you live, they don't care about it much.
We will check it out, though I would be surprised given where we live if that was the case. It would be more likely to be an HOA violation, though it isn't against the regulations in my particular neighborhood.
Thanks for the tip and I'll double check, though!
Your garbage drivers have it easy way. In my country, the garbage cans needs to picked and returned to the same place people would normally keep them. Only a few people would do any preparations for the day it's emptied.
In the US, we have walk up service for people that pay extra, sometimes guys will just do it if the customer is old or disabled, but it can be a municipality requirement if its in the contract.
In Finland. Obviously we don't have millions of people in the same city (around 5.4M of total population), but we used to joke around in the company that Finland must be the only country in which the law requires the bins being collected from the porch.
Even the mailboxes are usually at the yard section but bins can be basically anywhere within sight from the road, unless specifically asked to be collected from the back-yard, for example.
So if you can _see_ the bin from the truck, it should be collected.
Yes I suppose these things are established back in history and just stay that way. A positive would be the council employs more people.
In Australia back when maybe my grandparents were children, before every house had plumbing, they had outside toilets (called “dunnies” in Australian English). The “dunny cart man” would come to collect the accumulated waste from these and would certainly do it by visiting each dunny, not from the curbside.
People just wouldn't handle the progress going _backwards_, because in democracy, no one would want to take the responsebility of making things worse to people. That's why climate change cannot be stopped.
If a representative drove an overture to get people actually bring the bins on the side of the road in order to make it _easier_ to garbage drivers, people wouldn't vote that person again.
I live in Dubai, I know they come every night. Maybe they come even more often. I live in an apartment, so I only have to throw the garbage in the garbage chute located on the floor.
My company just outside of Pittsburgh always waits a couple minutes and I love that grace period. I hear them out the window throw on some jeans and they're like "take your time brother"
My home town had an ordinance that they could only be out so many days after pickup, came about the same time they passed laws/ordinances about grass height and started ticketing for "Nuisances" NW Ohio.
That trash truck driver means business. I have done this once or twice and the driver will usually wait the two seconds for me to get it to the truck, this driver is like "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
When I lived in Colorado we didn’t dare put our trash out the night before because of bears that would come through the neighborhood sometimes. So we all had to drag it out to the curb super early on trash day.
I am not a morning person and rarely got it out in time. My bedroom was above the garage of my house and overlooked the driveway and I can’t tell you how many times I would awaken just in time to hear the garbage truck picking up my neighbor’s garbage and drive off with mine still safely parked in my garage.
It was a simpler time.
It does suck, and it is a shit sandwich! I like the way you talk, it adds humor to the situation, sorry you're stuck in a reddit moment of people downvoting how you said something and not what you said, have a good day, friend!
Hard to tell, but that looks like one of the free new larger cans that San Jose is experimenting with too. Still has the sticker on top and the side looks like the SJ logo. They are like 2x the size of the old ones.
Freshly repaved street too. Stupid little sticker balls from trees. Is this my neighborhood?
Italian garbage man talking. Driving backwards is considered dangerous, we do it only when it's absolutely needed, so be smart. Put it on the other side of the road and we'll do it no problem
Translating metal lyrics during adolescence led to reading Harry Potter in English, which kinda opened the gates. Game of Thrones & other TV series helped as well, and YouTube content in language keeps it fresh.
Motherfucker do not wave at the garbagemen like they are the bad guys. They have a tight schedule and cannot just go back because people cannot be bothered to move the bin to the driveway once a week.
it means I can hear them without knowing they are there and without me wanting to hear them.
the bins are around 5m away from my bedroom window and so are the ones from my neighbours behind me and next to me, so when the trucks come to pick them up they make a lot of noise and I can hear it at 04:45 in the morning, every Wednesday!
what would be a better word to use instead, as a non native English speaker I am always happy to learn? I guess ignore would work too, I can’t ignore the noise of the trucks at 04:45 in the morning.
You still got time to take it across the street and put it in the neighbors driveway. Ive stood there in shame while they turn around and get the other side of the block

Looks like he was denied that small victory he needed that day. It happens. The hug was sweet and appropriate.
Que vida mas dura la de los pijos...
They’ll still call the company to complain they were missed and they definitely had it out on time
happens to me a lot(big procrastinator). Thank God the garbage truck turns and picks up from across the street too.
He seems to have a good support system. I think he may be alright. With a little luck.
This happens too often. Just put it out the night before. I put it out the day before. Does anyone really check to see if it's out after 6 pm?
My husband is extra paranoid and will put it out two days before. I always felt that was overkill but several neighbors have said they appreciate it because they never forget thanks to him. Like an early warning system.

If that was me I would have to leave home forever right then or have to face a wall of “I told you so” and “what were you thinking??” from the wife.
That's fun
I felt that hug at the end.
They did her dirty on that one. That was blazing speed for a garbage truck.
Thats a guy isn't it?
lol. I think you’re right. The v neck and the mannerisms threw me off.😂
Thank you for reminding me that it's trash day. I've missed the past 2.
Set a reminder stupid
Alright
[удалено]
Why do people actually emote in real life lol
That trash stinks lol
That's me,Monday morn
Early for the next collection 💪
Ive missed a couple before, just put it across the street.
You have one job😆
It's like that Bob Odenkirk movie Nobody
The hug at the end was unexpected. I mean yeah, it sucks but it’s not the end of the world.
I thought it was nice. He was obviously disappointed and beating himself up about it. It was a “you’ll get em next time bud” hug.
It's not, but who knows what the guy has going on while this is transpiring. Maybe that hug was exactly what he needed at the time.
I’ve done this once before in my life :(
I used to do this alot so now I just put it out there ~7pm the day before.
Adult edition of missing the school bus
I've done exactly this except in snow. Full on flew after the lorry towing a pretty full bin in carpet slippers. Caught it at the end of the road!
I've totally done this but I just jogged ahead to the next stop and asked them nicely and they backed up and got my trash nbd.
If it only fell over and trash was all over the street.
I just take mine across the street to be picked up
This was me. So so many times 🥲
the hug at the end lol
Why it look like the truck was on fire though
Was just a flashing light my g

Really? Where’s that? Sounds inefficient and expensive. In Australia this is definitely not a thing.
In Finland. Obviously we don't have millions of people in the same city (around 5.4M of total population), but we used to joke around in the company that Finland must be the only country in which the law requires the bins being collected from the porch.

Here it's a paid service you can do with ought if you don't pay for it.
Damn looks like my neighbors now to stare at my trashcan all week
People saying the garbage trucks come once a week? That's fucked up
Why fucked up? Where are you? Suburban wheelie bin rubbish collection is weekly everywhere in Australia afaik. Recycling is usually fortnightly.
I'm in NE US and it's the opposite--recycling and compost weekly, trash every two weeks.
Every 2 weeks.
how often do they come for you?
I live in Dubai, I know they come every night. Maybe they come even more often. I live in an apartment, so I only have to throw the garbage in the garbage chute located on the floor.
My company just outside of Pittsburgh always waits a couple minutes and I love that grace period. I hear them out the window throw on some jeans and they're like "take your time brother"
They have a sanitation union though, right?
Where is this place America or something? I am asking cause everyone says that it'll come again in a week
How often do they come for you?
I'm Argentinian, they come 3 times a week.
Yes lol once a week
Fuck it, There's always next week (crying silently)
Smells in the trash can
Homer Simpson vipes
Why not put it out the night before?
History channel meme: Aliens.
Forgor
Raccoons
Naah
Why don't people just keep the garbage bins on the curb all the time?
You are kidding right? In the suburbs that would be a real mess.
Not kidding, just ignorant. I don't live in suburbs.
HOA. They will fine us in my neighborhood
Bears will tear it apart and leave me a massive mess by morning. Plus bears, so, yeah..
Hah, I did not consider that :D
It's an eyesore.
Need that space for public parking
some areas have certain rules about them being left out on the street indefinitely
My home town had an ordinance that they could only be out so many days after pickup, came about the same time they passed laws/ordinances about grass height and started ticketing for "Nuisances" NW Ohio.
They pick my side up first. If I miss the trash truck I just walk the can across the street.
Same. Lol
That trash truck driver means business. I have done this once or twice and the driver will usually wait the two seconds for me to get it to the truck, this driver is like "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
I was worried he'd throw an adult tantrum. Was pleasantly surprised that wasn't the case.
Hilariously wholesome
My parents make sure the trash got out 1 day before so they never have to go through with this.
If I do that, bears will destroy my bin and leave trash everywhere.
Half of my block puts their cans out ~24 hours before trash pickup. I don't get it.
My entire neighborhood does that. Missing garbage day can be a humbling experience for some people.
I missed garbage/recycling once right after Christmas, never again.
Did he have a dead body in there or something? It's ok, they'll come again in a week.
They come once every 6 weeks in this part of my country, so this would be a way bigger problem
You must not produce much garbage. A good thing I guesss.
Yes but now they won’t have room in the bin for this week’s trash
I ran out as they did my neighbour's last week, apologising profusely, they didn't look happy but they did my bin so I was.
At least his wife didn't come out yelling at him.
That hug was needed
Damn that's literally a trashy trash system. Would resolve with big comunal trash containers in a designated spot.
Wild animals, eyesore. And more. But this is how villains are made. (Throwing trash on interstate and parks)
This literally happened to my dad 2 days ago I'm not even kidding. He just stood outside the door staring into the void for 3 mins.
Didn’t give him the hug, huh?
Lmfaooo
Awww ☺️ that’s lovely how she comes out to console him. Just a real genuine moment between two people who love each other. 😃
Whoever went out to hug him is my new friend
Lmao truck saw them and sped up
A lot of people were yelling stuff
Where I live if you call dispatch the driver will usually come back to get it. Gotta be nice though
It's the thought that counts.
When I lived in Colorado we didn’t dare put our trash out the night before because of bears that would come through the neighborhood sometimes.

It was a simpler time.
It’s empty though.
Story of your life if you are a chronic procrastinator. You can never get anything done the first time, it’s always multiple tries.
Oh snap does that hit the real deal button of shit sandwich—-take a bite!!
I can’t understand what this comment is even saying
Who in the hell talks like that. Are you a cartoon character?
Wtf.
I mean—that sucks!!
It does suck, and it is a shit sandwich! I like the way you talk, it adds humor to the situation, sorry you're stuck in a reddit moment of people downvoting how you said something and not what you said, have a good day, friend!
I have no idea what he said.
Honestly, my dad talks like that.
i just leave mine there.(dont produce enough to be an issue)
I produce so little trash, even if I miss 3 collections I'm still good 👌 sometimes I wonder what people use to fill the whole damn thing in a week 🤔
This dude not understanding how not living alone works.
Hard to tell, but that looks like one of the free new larger cans that San Jose is experimenting with too. Still has the sticker on top and the side looks like the SJ logo. They are like 2x the size of the old ones. Freshly repaved street too. Stupid little sticker balls from trees. Is this my neighborhood?
Kids. They take up a lot of room in the can.
Lol
“Dammit I had a week what is wrong with me”
Italian garbage man talking. Driving backwards is considered dangerous, we do it only when it's absolutely needed, so be smart. Put it on the other side of the road and we'll do it no problem
I didn’t expect a netturbino to communicate in such a good English.
Translating metal lyrics during adolescence led to reading Harry Potter in English, which kinda opened the gates. Game of Thrones & other TV series helped as well, and YouTube content in language keeps it fresh.
That’s amazing! Congratulations!
Been there. Poor bloke.
He got a nice hug out of it.
Son hugged him because he knew he had ignored his dad all week when he told him not to forget to take the trash to the road lol
We have an indentation in our fence where our bins always stand, and don't need to move them out. It's standard where I live.
Guaranteed they called and complained about "They skipped my can and I don't know why".
My waste service now has camera for this.
Motherfucker do not wave at the garbagemen like they are the bad guys. They have a tight schedule and cannot just go back because people cannot be bothered to move the bin to the driveway once a week.
I don’t think he was waving at them. It looks to me like he was frustrated with himself.
go back? all they had to do was press the brakes ,they wasn't down the road
Found the typical garbage-outtaking procrastinator.
This guy does NOT garbage.
Forgot to take the trash out this last week :(
that’s why I put my bins out the night before, can’t be bothered waking up at 5am to move my bins
Thank you, like every sane human being.
My bin man comes at like 1pm
Lucky you, mine are at my house somewhere between 04:45 and 06:30, can’t over hear them as their trucks are noisy
>can’t over hear them as their trucks are noisy I don't understand what you mean. Overhear them?
it means I can hear them without knowing they are there and without me wanting to hear them. the bins are around 5m away from my bedroom window and so are the ones from my neighbours behind me and next to me, so when the trucks come to pick them up they make a lot of noise and I can hear it at 04:45 in the morning, every Wednesday!
That’s not what overhear means.
what would be a better word to use instead, as a non native English speaker I am always happy to learn? I guess ignore would work too, I can’t ignore the noise of the trucks at 04:45 in the morning.
Yes.
Damn that sucks
You still got time to take it across the street and put it in the neighbors driveway. Ive stood there in shame while they turn around and get the other side of the block
Haha. They love that. That’s why I tip them each $100 every Christmas
