I've been noticing more and more around Sacramento, not just Carmichael, that people aren't putting their garbage cans in their back or side yards. I've driven past many many houses where the cans are either lined up in front of the garage door, off to the side of the drive way, and the worst, left out in the street for several days after pick up.
Are those people really that lazy, busy, or inept? Sure, maybe I've been out of town a day after pick up, so they stayed in the street a little longer than normal. But have some pride people! Help keep your houses and neighborhoods looking nice. Have some consideration for your neighbors and your property values!
