    Why can't you use it? It is just a can on wheels. Right?

    Gabe Miller Tony - please take any garbage can that you no longer want & drop off at a place that you see their garbage just in a bag on the edge of the road on garbage night outside of the town of cheektowaga; saw many along transit road this evening so a bunch of depew people could obviously use them as they don't seem to follow the village code.
    This was interesting... So does depew have a code that you must use a garbage can?

    Yes -

    GARBAGE
    The equivalent of 6 cans of normal municipal solid waste including garden and yard waste, ashes (cold ashes
    only), plaster, stones, bricks and building materials. All waste must be containerized.
     Place garbage in 20 or 30 gallon watertight cans with covers and handles, with a limit of 60 pounds
    per container.
     DO NOT PLACE BAGS OF GARBAGE AT THE CURB. THEY MUST BE PLACED IN WATERTIGHT
    CONTAINERS WITH COVERS. Containers must be made of high quality vinyl, rubber, plastic or metal
    and close with a fitting cover or lid.

    Yes, and far too many do not comply. When we go to totes the policies are going to change somewhat and the plan is to make sure that all residents are aware and follow the new policy.

    Well Charlie did make this comment on facebook....

    Charlie Markel No one else has this color so if stolen easier to find.
    I don't how color would come into play on this. If the garbage can thief lived in Cheektowaga the can would blend right in...

    Here is the real main goal of the Cheektowaga Town reasoning for doing these totes. It has nothing more to do with as grabbing more money out of us all. Not bad enough our property taxes will be going up at least by $6. 00 +., next year. Now the town wants us to hold our garbage for several weeks before placing it out for pickup this is the real reason it is to lighten their (Sanitation Dept.,) work load from daily to every few weeks. You can place 6 to 7 tall kitchen garbage bags in a 65 or 95 gallon tote comes down to garbage pickup once a month for me I am single.

    I believe the majority of waste management companies in Erie Country require you to use their receptacles, and will not pick up anything in any other container. I do know WM will not, for a fact.
