So last Monday was President's Day. Garbage pickup, no recycling. That got shifted to Thursday. But we have the weakest snowstorm of all time on Wednesday into Thursday. So while my cardboard got picked up, my cans/bottles/plastic did not. So now we have a lot.
Cut to last night. Put out the recycling to curb. Around 11PM I could hear bottles and cans rambling down the road. Heard it all night long. Awesome. Got up at 5:30AM to take out doggies and decided to check it out after they did their business. One of my recycling cans was halfway down the street. The cardboard container was flipped. I have recyclables everywhere. MY accross the street weird neighbor (Canadian) had his empty cans already in at 5:30 so I can assume his flipped and he just put away the cans. Since I found an empty jug of whole milk (we don't drink whole milk) I'm surrounded by everybody's trash.
So I picked up what I could and put cans out again. At 6:50 or so I heard them flip over again and spill all over yard. SO I spent about 20 minutes this morning picking up what I could. I still have a boatload to go. With a little luck it'll be so windy it becomes somebody else's minefield.
