So our township distributed these new trash and recycling cans several months ago. We have the most stylish refuse containers around -- go ahead, take a look, logo and everthing on these puppies. I know, you are all probably jealous that your taxpayer dollars aren't as hard at work as ours.
No more garbage men anymore in our neighborhood, just a guy (usually on his cell phone) driving around in a big truck that has this immense claw that extends, picks up the can and dumps everything in the top.
With these beautiful large bins came instructions -- leave cans three feet apart at the curb on your respective trash/recycling days. No problem, being the upstanding township residents that we are, we follow the instructions and low and behold for the past two weeks we come home to find our containers still full and sitting on the curb (three feet apart as we had left them mind you).
What a great upgrade for the township -- not. Never had this problem when we actually had trash men...or I guess I should say trash people to be politically correct. ARGH! Maybe we'll just start a landfill in our backyard.
