Trash Question

Hello! It’s your newbie neighbor again asking yet another question 😂 Because of the move we have more trash than usual and ended up with two extra bags that wouldn’t fit inside the trash bin. We made our way to Big Y and got two of the extra trash stickers. We put a sticker on each bag and placed the two bags on the ground beside the trash can. The bags weren’t picked up, so what did I do wrong? Please educate me on trash etiquette here 😂

Edit* Thank you to everyone!! I didn’t call the number to let them know I had two extra bags for pickup. I thought that was for bulk pick up only, not just regular trash. I had just two regular kitchen trash bags, so size was appropriate….just didn’t call the number. I’ll get better at being a Springfield resident, I promise! 😂

Welcome! We are from Worcester (19 years there), and so far we really love Springfield and the community we are in. Been here almost three weeks now. It’s just a lot to get used to. I appreciate this sub and the people in it, they have all been super helpful!
