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!</span></font></p>
