Another way to make garbage pickup more efficient is to use the right container. Make sure your garbage and recycling bins are the right size for your household and that they are in good condition. Broken or damaged bins can cause spills and make it harder for garbage collectors to do their job.

It's important to put your garbage out on time, as missed pickups can cause problems for both you and your neighbors. Check your local waste management agency's guidelines for pickup times and make sure you have your garbage out on the designated day.

Keeping your garbage area clean can make it easier for garbage collectors to do their job. Make sure your garbage area is free of debris and any other obstacles that could make it difficult for garbage trucks to access your bins. Overfilled bins can cause spills and make it harder for garbage collectors to pick up your waste. Make sure you don't overfill your bins and that the lids can be securely closed.
