Solid Waste & Recycling

Tuesday is Solid Waste & Recycling for our subdivision. We have the Christmas tree and empty boxes and out large an wild stuff.

So here's a question: How does one throw out a broken garbage can?

One of my trust garbage cans has a broken wheel and now a broken hinge. How do I get the to throw it out. It's not the size that matters. Indeed, they pick up couches and cinder blocks all the times, but the fact that its a trash can. If you mark it "Trash" that provided no additional signal to BFI to take the can away.

Now here's the really mysterious aspect.

I had a really great trash can, from back in the days of having an apartment with an outdoor aluminum trashcan inside a small apartment (ah... decor) the type that Oscar (oh this is too great a name. Here is another Oscar link[keep scrolling])would pop out of and sing about talking trash.

One Tuesday it disappeared. I don't know why.

Okay... Louren just looked over my shoulder and reminded me why. Mystery solved.
