Throwing out the Trash

[Pyraxis]

Our trash has gone down considerably since the city started taking compost. They take tissues and meat bones as well as the standard stuff.

My town just switched to the giant bins on wheels that the truck picks up without the driver having to get out.  I wasn't to sure about it at first but I have come to find I can get rid of a lot of my work garbage that they used to refuse to take if I mix it in properly with the household stuff

They started using that method here in 1989.

Before the new trucks showed up around here, there used to be two workers, one driving and one in the back, so just assumed the new trucks put half the sanitation workers out of jobs.

The new truck work great.   



But I miss the old ways.

I think they have two people per truck still. Just in case something goes wrong or something. Something like putting stickers on the recycle bins for being a good recycler. I got one on my bin and it's still there.

Wheeled 3 bags out in the little wagon I trash picked last fall.

  So someone else's trash has now become ... the trash conveyor! 

Just noticed the date on that post...3 years later and I'm still using that little Lil' tikes wagon to haul out the trash. I've even hauled bricks and cinder blocks in that damn thing

Lil' tikes needs to branch out and make some big garden carts, those damn things never last.

Knew someone who sold that stuff at housesale parties. She'd stand on it, pregnant with twins and more, to show how strong the toys were.

It rolls really well too. Damn thing has zipped down the hill into the ravine twice already.

Not really sure if there's two people or one; will have to ask husband.

I know, right? I laughed at that second one for like five minutes.

  I really should go outside and get my recycling bin back in.  Can't be arsed at the moment.

Oh fuck. I need to do that too.

[renaeden]

I need to bring my regular bin in. I heard them empty it earlier.

When you throw the trash out, (A mans job) let us know here!

I just. threw the trash out!

Should put the green bin at the curb. Still haven't found a man to do it. Have not actively been looking for a trash throwing male. So my own fault that it's still my chore.

  Tomorrow is trash day in my neighborhood.  I need to get my stuff together!
