How does the garbage man just not think "Oh, he forgot to put trash in here?"
Do you just put it in a bigger can?

I just wrote on mine with a permanent marker "please take" with a smiley face, it was gone when I got home, I even filled the can with garbage first!

I've got rid of a few by placing them in a lawn & leaf size trash bag.

We had this problem. Our neighborhood finally rented a dumpster and we got rid of it that way. You could try to put a sign on it when it's empty indicating that the can is trash.

In the past I've taped a note to the receptacle telling the trash-man that it was garbage and asking him to please take it away. Seems silly, but it works!

I set it out with the garbage and tape a note:
Please take can.

Ha ha ha! The things in life we ponder! LOL Yes, throw it into a larger can or break up the old one and stuff the pieces into the new one.
