Full disclosure: I’m a Glitter cleaner and IMO — at least where I live and clean — cleaning the day before can make the bigger difference. As you’re saying, it’s how people put their trash out that causes so many problems. When I clean the day before trash day, at least all the ripped plastic bags and paper bags of trash and recycling get consolidated into heavy-duty trash bags so that stuff doesn’t end up everywhere when it inevitably gets blown about. That makes it more manageable for neighbors to maintain their block until they put their trash out next week, too
