here comes your nineteenth...

...bag of recycling. Yes, tonight I bit the bullet and put out the garbage & recycling...one of the joys of being a homeowner...and one of the joys of being a slacker homeowner is that I put out the garbage & recycling so rarely (especially in the winter when the garbage is frozen and doesn't smell) that there is a LOT of it to put out. Actually, very little garbage (makes you realize how awesome it is that our municipality recycles ALL plastic and paper!), but a lot of recycling. By the looks of it, we haven't taken out the paper recycling since, oh, around Thanksgiving. I hauled nineteen bags a quarter mile to the non-curb, and I was too ashamed to bring the other 8 or 10 (what would the garbage collectors THINK???). I'd go back down & take a picture but I'm too tired and hungry.

n-n-n-n-nineteen...nineteen...

Hmmm, well, thank you for confirming the wisdom of our decision not to take our stuff to the dump. We have to choose whether to pay for dumping rights (and then we can only dump on Saturday mornings from 7-9, or something ridiculous like that) or pay for the guys to come around at dawn on Wednesday and pick it up. We discussed which of these would result in a larger pile-up and which would be more likely to result in us driving around with the car full of recylcing, and decided to go with our current system. Glad to know we made the right choice. :-)
