Having been in Ansonia for about 3 years now I shake my head every time there is a holiday on a Monday and await the stream of stupidity to start flowing.
Ansonia's residential trash pickup is on Wednesday each week UNLESS a holiday falls on Monday. If that happens, trash pickup is ALWAYS moved a day later, to Thursday.
However, time and time again, trash piles up on these "holiday weeks" a day early. In the summer it sits out a day and stinks.
Has the city actually ever notified residents to NOT put their trash our on Wednesday when Monday is a holiday? Clearly, the residents don't seem to notice their trash is on the curb for two days nor care how that looks.

Our trash gets put out into the garbage bin as it accumulates through the week. Whether that is in the back yard or gets moved to the front lawn for pick up is irrelevant, it will still stink in either location.
When is Ansonia going to upgrade its sanitation service and move to city provided bins that have a lid and are emptied by the truck? That type of service has been around for many years and is used in neighboring communities. It would reduce the odor alluded to by Ryan and would provide uniform size garbage bins for all community members.
It would also help if the Ansonia website actually indicated the actual dates of recycling pickup. "...your recycling day is your regular garbage day every other week." When does every other week begin? When I first moved to Ansonia, I had to guess and follow the neighbors since that isn't very clear. Maybe an actual calendar showing dates would be better than a general statement.

I just moved to Ansonia. I looked online to see if anything was stated about the trash being picked up a day later. Nothing. If no news was provided, I'm going to assume I need to put the trash out on the normal day.
Why does a garbage can bother you? Who cares if it's near the road. If it's covered, it should be no big deal. If it's been ransacked by animals, I can why you would post this. If it stinks, better for the family to have it near the road than near their home.
