Moderately often, one or more of my neighbors leave bags trash on the ground outside, next to the proper trash barrels. The management company sent a scolding email about this on Friday, the second since we moved in last summer.
The problem is, there aren't enough barrels for the amount of trash that the building generates. The only reason I was able to find room in one of the barrels for my kitchen trash yesterday is that somebody else had dropped their trash bags on the ground instead of using one of the barrels.
I just put in a maintenance request, asking for more barrels. I said (truthfully) that I agree that trash shouldn't be left on the floor, then said that keeping the trash inside the building until after the porter moves the trash to the sidewalk on Monday would be at least as unsanitary. In the interests of brevity, I didn't mention that there's almost always plenty of room in the recycling barrels (we have the same number of trash and recycling barrels).
I think at least part of the problem is that the management company hasn't looked at how many people live in the building, even though they should know that from our signed leases. These are four-bedroom apartments; they know there our household is three people, we told them that when we moved in.
