We're moving in right now.  What days are garbage and recycling pickup?  Any special containers required?

Garbage pickup is Friday mornings. Recycling is every other week, including this upcoming pickup on 5/2

I know this might be a-bit late, but; "Bulk" pick-up is on the last Monday of the month. According to the covenants, you can place items on the curb up to 3 days before pick-up day.  I would assume this gives the scavengers time to drive through neighborhoods and collect as much as possible to recycle or resale. i have to shop some trees and place them on the street before the fall comes around.

Were your trash bins given to you or were you required to purchase your own?
