LOL, I had to laugh at the last option in the poll. We leave a case of beer out for the garbage dudes every Christmas and whenever we have an unusual amount of garbage. (Ours prefer Iron City, in a can)
The first time I left it out there, I was afraid they would accidentally throw it away, so I waited until they came and ran out to tell them it was a gift. The guy told me, "Look, we are professionals. We would never throw away a good case of beer.."
