@SaveTheTurtles : City hasn't set up a notification system yet. I installed the app that has the calendar but it isn't updated. I asked if they could do another pick up? She stated that the couldn't since I failed to put the garbage out and it wasn't their mistake.  She just said, sorry. So will start putting the garbage out if not sure.

I always go to the website of our trash collector company in my city if I am iffy on whether they pick up or not due to a holiday week. If I can't determine from that I call them. Fortunately we are provided with a calendar for the whole year so you can refer to at any time provided you keep it.

That's unfortunate, I know this can be very frustrating. Hope you get it sorted out.

@Nightowlz : Thank you. Sister in law will get the garbage tomorrow and take it to her house. The guy next door is young military. DH will ask him for help.

Trash compactors are expensive!  I looked at them on Lowesdotcom and only saw one freestanding model, and all were priced over $1,000.

@SouthernBee I'd contact everyone I knew to see if there is a kid I could hire to deal with trash, a civic group who would do it for donations, a church youth group etc.  Someone who you could get to deal with it if you put the sacks in the back yard then they could put it in the bins and on the curb. 

A trash compactor gives you heavier smaller bundles, but mom had one and quit using it--not sure except she got tired of using it.
