In this part of Texas, no garbage is put out at the curb...it is all put in the city-owned dumpsters which are located in the alleyways behind all houses. In the country you have to contract your own trash hauler which furnishes you with a metal dumpster or you have to haul it to the dump yourself. No trash cans are ever used for trash pickup.
Consequently no large items are usually put out for the trash. Luckily we have a community recycling days yearly from which I officially collect the TV's, etc.
I remember though when I lived in Ohio and you just set the trash out at the end of the driveway and hunting for TV's set out...sometimes it was a race against the trash man to get them!
