to throw away a recycle bin?
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    somehow we ended up with two and can't seem to get them to take the old and broken one. I thought maybe I should just toss it in the garbage bin.[:D]

    Dig a hole and burn it. It came from the earth in the first place.

    Now it's recycled.

    Wasn't that easy? [:D]

    You should put your dead spotted owls in it and then place it on the curb.

    That's sounding an awful lot like work.

    I love how in the ghetto they can have the entire contents of a house out by the curb and the city will come get it....but my garbage man won't get anything that isn't firmly shoved into that silly blue can (and even then if anything dribbles out while he scoops it up from his air conditioned cab...that is MINE to deal with.)

    In the city where I live the ghetto section of the city doesn't even have to recycle, because the city knows no one would anyway. But let me throw a can in the recycle bin and have it go into the paper side when the garbage men come to pick it up. They will empty it flip it upside down and put an orange sticker on it not to mix the paper/cardboard side with the plastic/aluminum side.[;)]

    My spotted owl carcasses go into the regular trash, next to the plastic milk jugs. Nothing worth recycling.

    it's nearly impossible to get them picked up!
    i filled one with household garbage (bagged) and duct taped it securely.
    they cut the duct tape and took the bag. left the container.
    next time i filled it with chicken poop and put it into a kitchen garbage bag.
    they opened the bag, dumped the poop and left the blue bin.
    finally, i put it out with an envelope taped inside. inside the envelope was a $5 bill and a note that said "this is garbage"
    they must have thrown away the $5, cause they left the damn bin!!

    Due to budgetary constraints, my town no longer picks up 'routine' trash, and no longer picks up recyclables. The flyer in the mail said I have to take it down to the waste recycling station, and sort the plastics from the trash, metals, cans, etc..and wash them! Also I would have to pay $4 per bag, or wait in the truck line for scale weight, with a $45 minimum scale fee!

    To hell with that crap!!

    Within twenty-four hours of receipt of the flyer, I had a private hauler place a dumpster on the corner of my property. Joe

    You ain't kidding. Took me three tries to get them to take away a garbage can with the bottom missing. Kind of a garbage "cylinder" at that point.

    Finally had to cut it up and bag it.

    This summer I put an old desk by the road for free. The sign was an old rotten piece of plywood that I spray painted free on. Someone took the sign and left the desk.

    no no no You are doing it wrong! If you say free they assume it's broken. Put a sign on it says for sale $10 and it will be stolen by twilight. [:o)]

    Just have to think at their level

    Amazing, somehow it is better to recycle..individually with each enviro-minded citizen driving their personal vehicle to the dump.
    the county transfer station is about 3 miles from my house. when my three cans are full I take them myself (about once a month) I recycle metals/ aluminum, I burn the paper and I compost all the organics. our tranfer went up to an alarming 10 dollar minimum.

    This reminds me of the time I tried throwing away an old plastic trash can which had cuts and holes in it...took me WEEKS.

    I finally had to cut it up and put it in a plastic bag in another can, hidden.

    Good luck getting rid of the "recycle bin"...if you can!!!! [:D]
