Mondays are trash pick-up days for the House of Swank.
The general weekly routine is to take the trash and recycling out to the curb Sunday after dinner. Yesterday was a crazy day in the SwankPoet household, and by the time the end of the day rolled around it totally escaped me that the trash needed to be taken out.
No worries, the garbage collectors don't usually come until early afternoon, and the recycling pick-up even later than that. I'd just do it in the morning.
So, of course, this morning, right as I was getting ready to get to it all, the garbage collectors came early.
The good news is that, even with the smallest size trash bin available from our service, we produce a small enough amount of waste each week that we can let it roll a week without worries of filling the bin. Recycling is a bit more of a challenge - the collection receptacles we use inside (Trader Joe's cheapo reusable shopping bags) are a bit on the full side, but we can easily empty them into the recycling bins and still have plenty of room left over for next week.
If I forget again next week we may run into problems, though, so perhaps I should put something on the calendar.
