    Trash Day

    God I can relate to every single story - yikes! I often forgot where the empties were - very very rarely forgot where the full ones were - had a sort of radar for them! I remembered a really yucky one - ok - will 'fess up. About 2 years ago was going away with my son for a few days and early on the morning we were going I remembered there were a couple of empties I would be leaving in the house with hubs and I went out the back and threw them into a big hedge - probably still there......not my finest moment!

      Oh, but the awful clinking when they dumped the empties into the recycling truck! Right outside our bedroom window. WINCE.

        Trash Day

        I'm so glad I'm not the only one! At my worst, I would drive my empties to a dumpster is a strip mall parking lot praying no one would see. I would also drive by a park at night and throw an empty bottle as far as I could out the window while driving 40 mph. Putting bottles inside empty cereal cartons and putting them in the regular trash (very good for muffling the sound)

        Once my father was visiting and I had misplaced my wallet and he decided to go through the trash to look for it. How embarassing... all he did was comment on the amount of liquor we went through and how the bottles were "hidden" in the trash. I made up some silly story about getting into trouble with the city if you put bottles in the garbage instead of recycling them, that's why I had to hide them in cereal boxes, etc. How lame.

          Pride - I always winced in total humiliation when I heard that awful clinking sound. Just couldn't imagine what the neighbors were thinking let alone the recyclers!

            That's ingenious, LP. And right off the cuff, too!

              I would have my empties in the recycle bin out on the street waiting for the trash truck. Then in the middle of the night or early morning, here would come the people to dig thru our trash to take the recycles. :egad::blushing::egad: So every neighbor in the range of sound knew that they were digging thru our trash. And knew what they were getting. So embarrassing. Glad to be done with that.
