Big families make lots of garbage! Except for a short period of time, Rob has taken our garbage to the dump. This is a bi-monthly outing all of its own! I'm sure each of my kids can tell stories about going to the dump with Dad. It was just recently that Andrew went to the dump with Dad and a man who has worked there forever said, "Hey, I remember you from when you were a little boy!" Rob took his Mom to the dump when she came out for a visit from Michigan. She thinks we have the most awesome view from their, especially when the mountains still have snow on them.
Well, the Furie Fam is truckless at the moment so we will not be able to make our bi-monthly trips to the dump. I had to call Waste Management today to see about starting garbage pick-up. We have 3-96 gallon cans, several big barrels and 1 "regular" size can. Waste Management will only pick up "regular" size cans or 96 gallon cans that have to be rented from them. So, even though I have 3 of my own, I will be renting a container from them. This will add $36.00/month to the Furie Fam budget.
I found myself checking out everyone's garbage cans on my way to town. "They only use 1 can, they've got 2-96 gallon cans, check out their recycling!"
We will begin some heavy duty recyclying of our own! We've got to get a weeks worth of garbage to fit in 1-96 gallon can!
