Or, they just appear in the same coordinated manner in another district. For example, in our first house in this town, our recycle was picked up on Mondays and our garbage on Tuesdays — yes, about quarter to seven in the morning.

But, where we live now in the same town, it's Wednesday and Thursday. I know that in the neighborhood where my son's elementary school was, they were Tuesdays and Wednesdays because that's when those residents' cans were out. I never saw the trucks in that neighbor hood; the bins for those houses where the school carpool lined up were often half in the street, adding a minor hazard to the carpool line outside the school drop off circle-drive.
