One tip I would like to give people moving here: check the trash schedule on the streets department website. On holiday weeks, like this one, trash pick-up is delayed a day. It’s important in a dense city like ours that your household trash doesn’t become litter! Also don’t put your recycling in a paper bag! It never turns out well. Get a real plastic bin.
