Notice anything odd about where the dumpster at the junction of Johanna Ave and Hawthorne Trace is right now?
Right. It's sitting outside its normal container. You're very astute. Why would the garbage truck driver put it there? Hint:
Correct! Because it wouldn't fit with all the garbage left there that people didn't bother to put inside the dumpster.
So guess who got to spend part of his late afternoon doing trash duty? Right again, amigo! Your humble blog author - slash - friendly neighborhood garbage man. Much to the great disappointment of the ants, flies, roaches and at least one toad that had come to feed on the insects.
By the way, if you're trying to diet but struggle to curb your appetite, clean up a dumpster area. That'll clear your food craving right up!
I could have waited for the person we pay to pick up trash around the community to do it. Didn't know we had one of those? Yep. We pay someone roughly $200 a month to pick up the trash that we're too lazy to put into the dumpsters ourselves.
Maybe I should have. Maybe if more people see how disgusting the dumpster areas get, they'd put the trash inside the dumpsters, like the sign on the gate instructs. As it is, there is some sentiment among board members to install surveillance cameras to identify the people who seem to insist on trashing our community.
They won't get any argument from me.
