The yard waste cans aren't big enough for squat! These new cans look smaller. We could have used 2 cans instead of a yard waste can! If the cans are going to be smaller why can't we have pick up twice a week of regular trash instead of once a week and leave off the yard waste crap?

I'll just find a new use for the container, I think their decision was probably a good one because they use to use an old truck with grappling hook and trailers...which of course includes things like dump fees , insurance tags maintenance gas oil, etc. I'm OK with.

It will be an extra can to be in the way. Hopefully with the extra money they will finally be able to patch a pothole or two or put some fresh paint on the speed bumps.
