I've never seen anything offering a choice. I assume it's part of the town's contract with the trash company. I'm sure it's on the town's web site somewhere. They pick up trash and recycling (don't have to do anything to the recycle other than put them in the correct bin) once a week, regardless of holidays and such. Once a month they have "big trash" day - we put stuff out over the weekend, they pick it up some time during the week. The restrictions are simple and obvious - amount is "about what you could fit in the bed of a pickup truck", no hazardous stuff, and anything with doors (appliances, furniture) needs the doors disabled or securely locked or something (I put a fridge out once, and I just took the door off). Bigger stuff, or hazardous stuff, you can deliver yourself, or call and arrange a pickup. As town governments go, they do all right.
