Garbage

LA residents now have green, blue, and black garbage cans. Green for compostable stuff from the garden, blue for recyclable materials, and black for other stuff. They can also have a once a year special pickup. (When I went to the link just now, I see that there is a once a year garden clean up collection and also a bulky item collection. I guess we combined the two.) Today we had that pickup, getting rid of stuff I've been cleaning out of the garage and yard, and also a lot of the tree and ivy we cut off the old fence, some of the old fence including the gate, and whatever else we had.

Here's the stuff we had out waiting for the truck - this doesn't count filling up my mom's regular three garbage cans as well as the neighbors' (who are out of town) cans.




The guy who picked it up couldn't have been nicer and friendlier and we were delighted that he took everything, even though we came up with a few things that weren't on the list when we booked the extra pick up.
