[Grovenet] Tired of the garbage

[Ed Davie]

I've been told that everything gets picked up 
every week now.
And, the orange box ... I think he means the old 
recycling containers. They're sort of orange or 
orange-red or something.
I like the last thing you suggest. Sell 
advertising space!!

  Besides joking about getting people to buy less 
stuff which will be very
  hard to do, I basically agree with you.
  But what is the orange box?  I haven't seen any 
and I don't have one either.
  My gripe is that I can never remember which can 
is the one that only gets
  picked up every other week? The grass clippings 
or the recyclable trash?  So
  I always set out everything as my neighbors seem 
to have the same memory
  problems I do so I can't read their habits to 
give me clues.
  Maybe if we decide to see the beauty in the cans 
and let their unsightly
  look remind us that we are avoiding the even 
uglier trash problem of filling
  up more landfills with stuff that can be 
recycled we'll feel better about
  the whole thing.

  PS.  We could have everybody paint happy faces 
on the sides of the
  cans.....or faux flowers....or wilderness 
scenes...or sell the space for
  advertising!
