Can't you call city hall explain what happened and see if they can't send someone over to pick it up?. Thats what i did when my freezer died. The city sent someone over with in a matter of a few days to pick up the garbage bin.

So drive the trash to a dumpster somewhere

find nearest hypermarket and toss in their garbage if they have any outside

That sucks. How come your rubbish only gets picked up so rarely though? That is insane.

Our old freezer died three days before Thanksgiving a couple years ago. Thankfully, we had a couple of large ice chests to store the food and we found a store that delivered before the holiday. I hope you're able to find a quicker solution to the smelly trash.

a similar thing happened to me, except the fridge and freezer door seals broke, so the doors were open enough for the light inside to come on without anyone noticing. I came home from school and about $300 in food had all went bad (we had just gone grocery shopping), and the light in the fridge had melted a hole into the back of it, which was then Siliconed :/ TL;DR : fridge door seal broke and there's a hole in my fridge now and about $300 of groceries wasted

I had this happen once. Call the garbage company and tell them the problem. Usually they could tell you what to do because of the health hazards and odor involved. If not co-operative call the local health department and ask them what to do. It worked for me. Good luck

There's a chance that somewhere in Texas, there may be another trash can for sale. Just saying. But Texas.

Take it to the dump yourself

Call the council and you may be able to pay for them to take it away! I know it sucks and isn't ideal in anyway, but it's a solution at least :(
