I saw a post about requesting a new toter 2-3 weeks ago and called Waste Management right away toRead More get my name on the list. They told me the new 35-gallon one would be delivered the week of 6/24. When I looked outside this morning upon hearing a truck, I saw that they took my old one and replaced it with the 35-gallon toter. (Today is my trash day.) It may take time for the delivery to occur since it takes longer than when they pickup your trash and it's someone with a different vehicle doing it. The only problem I have with WM is they didn't take the old wicker lawn chair I left out for the trash.

While I understand the intended benefits of these new toters (increased efficiencies by WM, whichRead More should help keep residents' costs down), there has been an unintended consequence to this. As you walk around the neighborhood, you now see the majority of homes having to leave the toters OUTSIDE, even for those who were successful in getting the smaller ones delivered. How many homes now have their garbage sitting alongside their garages, or even out on their driveways, all the time? Not exactly eye-appeal. I was able to fit mine into the garage, barely, next to my recycle toter, but now I can't open the back door of my car when its in the garage. I only hope that the raccoons don't figure out how to lift the lids!
