In US it is. You are supposed to keep your garbage can in the backyard , because homeowners association thinks if your garbage can is visible it brings down the property value of the whole neighborhood.
The garbage is picked up by garbage collection company once in a week , so the night before or early in the morning you have to roll your garbage can out in the front of the house which is where the truck will stop to pickup your garbage.
This is th hardest part.
Putting the garbage in the can on a daily basis is not hard because back door is where the kitchen is and most garbage is generated in the kitchen.
The garbage can is very close by to the back door.
So here you go , now you know the whole reason behind all this hoopla about who rolls out that garbage can.
