They do one side of the street on Thursday, the other on Friday. The reason for this is to keep the trash truck from having to contend with parked cars. <BR/><BR/>We are all supposed to put the trash bins up on the parking strip - next to the street but not in it so that the street sweeper can do his thing unimpeded. (It's a one man show now that the trucks are fitted with the hydraulic arm for grabbing, lifting, and dumping the trash.) Only about half of the residents bother to put their cans in the right place. The rest do it the way they always used to: trash bins in the street. Some of my neighbors haven't even bothered to switch the day of the week that they put their trash out. I wonder how they can be so oblivious.<BR/><BR/>I'm starting to rant, so I'll just wish you a good weekend.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450393891493020636noreply@blogger.com
