The Special Blue Bin |
That however is not the case. Over the first few weeks of this war, I tried to make things happen with only one bin. I quickly realized that this battle would be lost. My recyclables quickly accumulated to an unsafe level. I was at DEFCON 2. What should I do? My answer was to find a bin around the same size and put it out to the curb. On the next recycling day, the enemy attacked, emptied my official blue bin and then took my entire back up bin and its contents. WHAT! WHAT! ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME! They took the entire bin and now I am back down to one! Immediately plan B went into effect and I found another bin to put recyclables in. The day came and I put both bins out, this time with a note that instructed them to not take the bin. They not only did not take the bin, they didn't empty it either. Now I am at DEFCON 3 with recyclables backing up everywhere. What should I do now? I sat back and thought for a minute and realized that there were no holes in the bottom of the bin. I went to my workshop, got a drill and put holes in the bottom of the bin. They would certainly take it now.
Wrong-O beaver breath! The next week came and I put both my bins out. This time with a note stating that I drilled holes in the bottom and would they empty it this time. My hopes were high. When I got home from work, low and behold they DID NOT empty the bin. I was in a panic. It was DEFCON 4 and I knew it was time to stage an attack of my own. I cursed and swore those bastards and right then and there declared war on these recycling terrorists. Next week is recycling week and I have a plan up my sleeve that will blow them out of the water. I can't tell you what it is, but I will fill you in on the result of this battle. The bottom line here is that there is no reason for these guys to not empty my bin. They won't do it simply because it is not an "Official" recycling bin and that is just plain stupid.
