You're far from perfect, Johnny.
It's a fairly new law up here (since August 1 2014) that we are allowed one black bag and up to four clear bags every two weeks. This is to encourage the non conforming to properly recycle what can be recycled.

Here in the burbs they provide a 96 gal trash barrel and a somewhat
smaller recycle barrel. They collect every week. We also have unlimited
yard waste pickup once a week.
Your stuff must get pretty ripe by the end of a two week cycle.

We're lucky here also. Huge trash barrel, probably the same size as yours, and a
recycle barrel that's about as big. Paper, cans, bottles, and plastic all go into the
same recycle container. Each are picked up weekly. Brush is picked up weekly also.
Must be smaller than 6" diameter, which is pretty damn big! And the bundles are not
supposed to be more than six feet long. Have to admit I'm very satisfied with the
trash removal in this county.
