Trash Talkin

Back in Bountiful, we had 2 very large trash cans that were collected every Thursday morning.  Our recycling bin was also large and was collected every other Thursday. No sorting required.  Flash forward to the present and this is what we get: a small trash can that is shared with a neighbor that gets collected every other week, or 1/8th of what we typically use.  We have two crazy small recycling bins (think horizontal laundry baskets.) They get picked up on alternating weeks, and have a very long, detailed list of what can and can't go into each.  The lists are posted right above the trash can, and I think that I have lost at least 20 minutes a day to the task of trying to determine what is rubbish and what is not, and if it can be recycled, what container it should go in.   

Like George Washington, Ryan could not tell a lie.  He was randomly chucking stuff into the wrong recycling bins, so he had to re-sort out the recycling. Doesn't he look handsome?

  1. The Scottish air is turning back the clock on Ryan he looks like a father of one. I think whatever doesn't fit in the bin you should store under your bed.
