We do have our trashcan on the front porch and Mon-Tues, Thurs-Sat at 9 pm we hear an "ice cream truck" which is really just the opposite. The friendly music is the trash truck announcing its arrival and there is a 5-minute window of time in which someone has to haul the trash to the corner! We sure miss the curbside pickup in the US where we put the trash in at our convenience and they pick it up at theirs! We often are out and about when the truck comes so we have piles of garbage to deal with! Yuck!
