Trash.

How much trash can we generate?
Gone are the days of the shopping bag under the sink that gets put out on the curb on trash day. Now it's a minimum of one huge trash can and two full recycle bins and we probably average almost two trash bins per week. Since the coming of these kids the amount of trash flowing out of this house is a shame.
Sunday nights, trash night. I hate 'em. The night I have to collect and put out all of the trash. It doesn't take long and I'm always glad to get rid of the stuff but for whatever reason I hate it. And there is so much cardboard in our lives. I hope they are really recycling this stuff.

I hate to break it to you, but since I know people very close to the trash industry, I have learned they do not recycle hardly any of our recycling.
Alot of it gets all lumped together right into the dump.

I have the opposite problem, I have one small plastic bag in my huge garbage can each week. They will not let me pay for bi weekly service, so I pay the same amount as someone who overfills their garbage. This is a pet peeve of mine.
