Kind of a tangent, but the tailend of college I shared a house with four other guys, which meant street parking in a college neighborhood where the streets were often mostly full. Our next door neighbor had a car and a half length of curb between him and the next house, and once asked me to park a little further back to leave space for his trash can so he could use his driveway without being blocked by his trash can. It just so happened trash day was Monday and I delivered Amazon packages through the post office Sundays, so I often got off work at a time other folk were away from home and the space in front of his house was open. I always felt pretty good pulling in to maximize space for his bin, effectively reserving the space for him.
