(By contrast, in Florida it's picked up every single week throughout the year, which is one of the few things that make a landlord's life incredibly convenient over there vs here.)
Out of curiosity, how's cumbersome trash collection in other provinces and cities? Is it also a rare event that happens about as often as equinoxes?
