Alright, just before the carrier went by, two Waste Mgt trucks entered the neighborhood. Our two cans sit alongside the road, arranged accordingly so that their machine could pick them up. Well, they got one of my cans and left the other full. I walked out, looked up and down my street and noticed there was literally trash all over the roadway. The trucks contained a driver and a passenger for some reason, arms slung out the windows, laid back, seems not necessary since they never, ever abandon the seat cushions. One truck was following the other for some reason. Come to find out, they didn't empty our second can because it's not a waste mgmt can. I was told, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
One day a few years ago, I had a box sitting next to my can, and our town just switched to Waste Mgmt. They didn't get it, put it out again and they didn't get it. The third time I put it out I was home when they came by, and when they didn't get it, I got the box and walked down the street to where they were. I told the guy that I was putting the box in the garbage truck. He told me not to because it would clutter up his truck. No kidding. I threw the box in there.
What happened to the garbage men?
