Bonney Lassie used to do this thing called "tell the truth tuesday" about the not-so-pretty parts of your garden. I'm not sure if she's still doing it, but seemed like an appropriate theme for this very exciting pair of pictures!
I present to you: GARBAGE CANS!

| very exciting - there are 2 grey ones! |
The grey ones are for yard waste, and the green one is for recycling. Because that color coding makes total sense...

| the new green one comes with this thing called a "lid" |
Why am i so excited about garbage cans? Because they had been broken (the green one) or insufficient (the grey one) for a long time. All the way back in November of last year, i finally figured out how to get the city to bring me more/new cans, and after that the saga/waiting game that involved 5 phone calls and dragging empty, broken cans to the road each week, started.
I joke (mostly), but this is very exciting (sorta). It has taken me
months to get the city to provide additional yard recycling containers, and a non-broken recycling container. And just in time to finish all the pruning and soon to be arriving plant containers.
It is kind of strange what I can get excited about these days...
Ha! My cans are color coded differently - the yard waste cans are green, the recycle can is blue and the garbage waste can is gray. I'm lucky to have 3 yard waste cans as, until I get my new composting bins, a lot of stuff has to go off-site. One of my green cans is bashed but I haven't wanted to go through the hassle of getting it replaced...
ReplyDeletethat color coding sure makes more sense... And why is it so hard to get a garbage can replaced?! Glad to know somethings are the same in all places!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! I do understand how exciting this is, as I've just got the one yard waste bin. Interestingly mine are color-coded just the same as Kris's. Your city is weird! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree my city is weird... although not cool weird like Austin or Portland... just weird-weird. Maybe it's all this high desert sun!
