I’ve had to show our trash company who’s boss this week. We’ve only lived here two months but they’ve forgotten about us over and over again. They actually picked up our trash on Wednesday as they’re supposed to, but our recycling sat in a soggy heap on our front lawn for two whole days. I’ve called them three times between yesterday and today. First their recycling truck broke down and then they forgot us again. While I was having lunch today I heard a noise outside and looked out the window to see the garbage man loading our carefully collected recycling into the back of his big garbage truck with all the other regular trash. Then he grabbed our trash can, attached it to the back of his truck and drove away. Ack! I called the trash company and they brought our can back about an hour later. I cancelled our service yesterday and switched to a new (hopefully better) company, but we’ve prepaid through the end of the month with this original company so we’re sticking it out. Who knew trash could be such drama?
