Lynn Ranch and the flag-lot bin problem

Lynn Ranch homes were built tight. The flag-lot subdivisions off Hillcrest and Janss have driveways that average 9 feet wide — barely enough for one car, let alone a car parked next to a 26-inch trash bin path.

Standard 96-gallon bins are 28-30 inches wide. Roll one up a 9-foot driveway with a parked car and you've got 4 feet to spare on either side, theoretically. Practically, you have a foot. Wheels scrape, lids catch on side mirrors, and we've seen bin paint transfer onto white sedans.

Our crew uses compact bin dollies for any Lynn Ranch flag-lot pickup. The dolly puts the bin at a 30-degree tilt, narrows the footprint to 22 inches, and rolls smoothly even on the unmaintained concrete that's standard in the older subdivisions.

If your Lynn Ranch driveway is one of the narrow ones, Thousand Oaks can-to-curb is the right fit — we already know the trick.
