also here trash men have off all holidays, so you dont put the beer out on xmas, you put it out before or after, preferably after to help with all that extra trash you got.
that's exactly why it's done here. we put out beer for the trash man after they come back from their holiday break. they can only take 3 bags of trash and are not allowed to haul off the tree, but they do so for the people that leave the beer for them. they do not work during the holidays here either, but i can assure you they won't pick up your extra stuff if you don't leave them something in return.

the trash collectors make well above the average wage here. they may not be great pay, but it's not a bad check at all.
