<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><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? <A title="http://autos.aol.com/cars-BMW-128-2008/expert-review?ncid=aolaut00050000000017" href="http://autos.aol.com/cars-BMW-128-2008/expert-review?ncid=aolaut00050000000017" target="_blank">Read reviews on AOL Autos</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
