Colorful Trash
This is totally random and I know most you you don’t give a crap, but I needed something to blog about today and went out to take out my recyclables and again had to think about what trash can I was putting them in. See as of last week, we have a new trash company I think. I’m not sure because I threw out the letter they sent me. I didn’t really care or pay attention until I got my new trash cans.
Now here’s the tricky part. The BLUE one is actually now the recycle can, the BLACK one is actually trash and the GREEN one is for lawn clippings. So why did they have to confuse me like this? How long will it take for me to stop throwing my trash in the blue one? A big sticker on the front would’ve been nice.

We’ve had the blue recycle can in the Greater Phoenix area since the program began… but, luckily ours have a huge recycle logo (the triangular arrows thingy).
I do find it interesting that you have three cans though. We only have the two:
Green = garbage
Blue = recycle
Guess we don’t have enough lawns or other green growth here in the Sonoran Desert to warrant a third can.

3 cans?! We only get 1 garbage can here in Illinois, and we’re still forced to use those tiny baskets for recycling. A family of 5 needs a bit more than a single basket!
