Herd mentality

[jhetley]

Okay, trash collection doesn't rank high on the "Interesting topics" ratings, but it remains a social goodness.  Our normal trash day is Friday.  This gets modified now and then by the intervention of holidays.  "Now and then" would include this week, with a Monday Holiday Law relocation of Memorial Day from its rightful place.

QED, trash day would be Saturday, tomorrow.  The contractor even placed an ad in the Daily Fishwrapper to that effect.  Yet a large percentage of the households in our neighborhood have their trash bags and bins out by the curb this morning...

And I find myself twitchy that I didn't put our bag and bin out.

Baaaa.

Heh. It's actually difficult in our household to remember that on Thursday night we need to empty the small rubbish bins in to the big trash can so someone can take it out to the road on Friday morning.

Last night the rubbish bins got emptied but the Alaric forgot to get Goose to take the can down to the curb. :-)

That's part of what makes me twitchy -- have enough trouble remembering. Don't need the complications of remembering _not_ to remember...

You guys get trash collection? Wow. No fair. Here in Colebrook still have to haul our own to the dump or pay for a local freelance trash-hauler to do it for us.

Hey, this is the Big City. Biggest for a hundred miles in any direction, even.

Not that there's much competition...

Same for us. But Less Mess Trash collection recycles everything we put out at the curb without us having to sort it. I'm willing to pay for that. :-)
