Would like to thank the spouter who is obsessed with the Village Green trash cans. As a resident of Village Green, I always took my trash can for granted. Not anymore. I actually bring it in the garage immediately after trash has been removed, and try to protect it from inclement weather. Before, I would leave it outside all the time. During the snow storm of 2010, it had two feet of snow on its lid. Sounds silly, but it kind of makes me feel good doing this.
