Yes, we do have dumpsters. We are an apartment and townhouse condo, not a
lot development. Thus we pay for trash and recycling pick up -- the city
doesn't do it. We have 43 units.

We have a big blue dumpster for garbage, two green ones for bottles, cans,
plastic, and a medium size for newspapers and cardboard. They are always
full it seems. Other than 20-30 trash cans, which no one would could be
hired to empty, dumpsters are the only alternative for this kind of
development.
