I went through a similar sort of thing after the flooding this past spring. I called the trash office to find out how best to handle the excessive amounts of stuff that I needed to throw away due to basement flooding. The best the woman could tell me was that if it was more than I could fit in my trash barrels, I should put it out over a series of weeks rather than all at once. And if I put out "too much" trash in any given week, I might get a ticket; but she couldn't tell me what constitutes "too much."
Oh, and you can't put the trash out before 4pm the day before pickup. I asked her, if I put the stuff on the walkway alongside my house (i.e., on my property) in preparation for trash day, would I get a fine for that? And she couldn't answer that either. In short, she was friendly but almost completely unhelpful. It was seriously frustrating.
