<DIV>Does anyone remember back in the good ol' days (1970) when the town
furnished each household with a metal trash can stand. In this stand was
placed a <U>paper bag</U> which was filled with trash. The public
works people would walk down your driveway, yeah its true, and pick up the
paper bag and haul it away to the trash truck. The town also furnished
the paper bags. All included in our taxes which were quite low back
then. We had fewer workers, trucks, staff then too. It was
wonderful not to have to worry about totting trash cans out to the curb
and actually made the town look better since there were never any containers
lining the streets waiting for people to come home from work or getting out on
the wrong day. Then came the progress where we were instructed to haul
our own bags out to the street. Saving time and money here. So,
that wasn't so bad we got used to it. Then came more progress.....those
bags were getting messed up by the dogs and the birds and trash was getting
all over so now we would be required to get a container which had to meet
specific specifications and haul that out to the street. OK, we did
that. Now we have progress again. I can't wait to see what 2020
brings for us! Imagine.....no gas, so we have to wheel those
containers to the dump. I can see the little old lady (that would be
me) struggling down the East West Highway with my container. I'm
smiling happy I'm still here to witness the progress!</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR>
