After a month of dragging the recycling out to the curb (curb? there really is no curb on this highway) and bringing it back in uncollected we have finally hit the correct day for recycling pick up! YEAH!!!
So... What happened you ask?? As of the beginning of February we inadvertently got off the correct 'every other week' pick up schedule. Putting the recycling out, bringing it in, putting it out again and bringing it back in.. and always on the wrong Monday night. how did we get so discombobulated (great word by the way)? how did we choose the wrong Monday night to put recycling out? First.... i stopped writing it on the calendar as the year changed. Since it always rains on recycling night. I think that was our 2nd misconception. it was raining.. we put recycling out.
yes i called, three times, asking if i had the wrong date.. no, correct date (it was not).
I imagine you are wondering why this every day activity made it into print. "collecting recycling in the country". It seems that the closer to the city the more trash and recycling pick ups there are. This township has only about 10,000 people.. We all pick and choose our trash hauler and pay for it privately. the township has a recycling hauler that comes in and is paid for by our taxes.
The recycling schedule is printed in the township newsletter quarterly. Our ''street'' is listed as pick up on Friday. what the schedule does not say is that it is the other side of the highway that is picked up on Friday. Only the other side not our side. our side is picked up 3 or 4 a.m. tuesday morning, in the dark.and it is listed no place! there are at least 20 properties in the township on this side of the highway.. more than the other side.. but we just don't rate.
oh well...as long as i know which Monday.. and they take it.....
HOORAY for recycling!!!!!
