I barely have any trash anymore since I started composting. Bonus is also the trash barely smells like anything, since it's mostly just unrecyclable plastic and dust.

When I told my wife about this thread she went "Garbage men? You mean your ENTIRE GENDER?" Then she went for a high five, but I refused and told her she needs more female friends to joke with.

MoonshineWilly posted:My trash collector solved this problem by getting bought out by a waste management conglomerate in Texas and just not picking up the trash anymore, which saved them a lot of time and money. The local paper suggested residents fill out a complaint with the state attorney general, which I did. Trash pickup was then hit or Miss for about a month, at which point I received a reply letter from the state saying they looked into it and couldn’t do anything about it. lol Waste Management in our town has cameras on the trucks that monitor your cans as the trash is collected. If you can't close the lid, they send you a photo of your can, with a nasty note about overloading the can and how hazardous it is for the guy who drives the truck. They sent me a picture of my "Badly Overloaded" recycling bin, which was loaded with several large pieces of styrofoam so the lid would not close. They threatened to impose a fine if i continued to overload the bin. They said it could be a hazard to the driver, and could spread disease. Who knew that 5 pounds of styrofoam could be so dangerous to handle.

Here in Chicago, you know spring is upon you when the ice and snow on the grass near your apartment melts, revealing all the dog/hobo poo poo and trash. The best part is you don't have to clean any of it up, because it all forms into humanoid shapes and BECOMES OUR POLITICIANS! I told my wife what i just wrote and tried to get her to high five me, but she wouldn't. I deeply regret how I handled our last interaction.

Bookmarking this thread since it's been something I've always wanted to know but never bothered to ask the garbage men when they pass by. It's like delivery drivers. You just make awkward eye contact and close the blinds until they leave.

We've had some brutal cold in the plains and apparently it fucks with both the diesel and the hydraulics of the trash truck fleet. According to local news the "solution" is to just idle all the trucks overnight so they don't freeze up. Anyway the real answer is apparently they just work OT/weekends until they catch up on their routes

They should combine the garbage man and the mail man. He could recycle the grocery store flyers right on the spot.

There are guys that will pick it up and throw it in a pond or creek for far cheaper than renting a bin

My city’s landfill has literally (not a joke it really is) been on fire for four days now. And somehow the fire is oriented so that it’s not feasible to put it out so they’re just going to let it burn. Yesterday morning I couldn’t see the end of my block for the smoke. Imagine the fine I would get if I burned a pile of trash in my backyard for half a week.

It's the 'let someone else take care of it' mentality. But when to try to do it yourself, you get busted. 4 days?! Crazy. Call your governor, if you trust them to care.

Our street plays musical recycle bins every time it’s a lil windy. No one knows who’s belongs to who, you just make sure to grab 1 from somewhere when you need it. One of them is all taped up from being run over so much and I hate the weeks I get stuck with that one because it always needs more tape.

I tried to put a bin right under my mailbox for "trash", even put some seed sales papers in there so they'd get the message. it didn't work. I respect our USPS (not that one bozo) and I'm sure legally they have to put everything in the mailbox, but it sucks. i've stopped my mail for like 2 weeks when I was out of town for 4 days, and just dealt with it all in a bundle.

I moved it in front of the neighbors yard, who moved it back to mine. I moved it to the other neighbor's and i never saw it again

3 different dogs. You've never lived until you've been chased by a Rottie through snow, and all you have is your mail bag. Your supposed to use it for defense. Doesn't work. I like dogs but next one that bites me gets Mario Stomped. I used to raise Shepherds man, gently caress your lovely untrained dogs.

Snarling dog off leash baring its teeth at me and the baby "HE'S FRIENDLY HE'S FRIENDLY!!!" Yeah, real friendly. Like it's my postures fault that your dog is a piece of poo poo. We were in China last year, tons of wild dogs, all over the place. Rarely heard a bark. Better behaved than the "furry members of the family" that the dimwits here are walking around with here.

It's crazy how people think a dog is just like a human. I appreciate that they do their jobs when they're shown how to But if you don't do the work and training, they will. That's part of the appeal I guess. But they're dangerous and half the people I interacted with didn't even know if they were vaccinated. Ok great now I have to get all my shots at once

I like kitties better. Dogs are ok. But most dog owners are a bunch of fuckin cunts. MY DOG is a GOOD DOG!!!! My dad is old and somewhat frail. Some rear end in a top hat dog came running up and jumped up on him. Didn't bite him, but knocked him down and he hosed his head up on some gravel. BUT ITS OK BECAUSE THE DOG DIDN'T BITE HIM, THEREFORE THE DOG DIDN'T HURT HIM AND ITS NOT MY FAULT OR THE DOGS FAULT!! Owners took off without even asking my dad if he was ok. Fuckin coward rear end cunts. I hope them and their dog burn to death. If a dog bites me, I'll bite its ears off.

I don't want to kick your dog. Keep it on a leash please. My shepherd went for people trying to ride bikes. I put a muzzle and a 2 handed leash on him. Definitely not friendly. But I always made sure he was always in my control. Police dogs, ugh.
