[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 126810, member: 47"] I remember when I was small, and living in PA we had two metal drums for our garbage, and there would be two garbage men who came put down two HUGH pieces of gunny sack material picked up the drums, empty it in the middle, then tie the ends and hoist it over their shoulders - what grueling work - those poor guys were always held over us as an example as to what our jobs would be if we didn't do well in school. Fast forward to today, and my kids should be so lucky to land a job as the trash person - they make a LOT of money, and never so much as get dirty. Our garbage man NEVER gets out of his truck - trucks have automatic arm thingies that come out grab the bin lifts and dumps. Any "bags" will sit there till the cows come home (with a note saying sorry, if its not in the bin...LOL) My bill for the garbage pick up is around 60.00 every three months, so thats about 10.00 per month which is fair I think. With recycling our own bottle and cans at the local center where you only get half of the crv, three large bags will get us about 20.00. The bags just stay in the garage and the boys use them as piggy banks, when they are short of money, they just grab a few bags and off they go. Well, I just remembered it was Tuesday, and I didn't see the green bin by the curb, so I am off to take it down to the street. Marge, that was a good story about the deer - there are actually some in the hills up the road, but the only wild life we have here in the flats are possums and skunks - probably just as well cause I know myself and I would be putting out stuff for the deer to eat Marcie [/QUOTE]
