Trash Day!
It's trash day in my neighborhood today. As I drive around looking at all of the plastic trash bags sitting in front of everyone's houses I am reminded of trash pick up when I was a kid living in Enid. Back before they hired all of these sanitation engineers we used to have these guys called "garbage men" that would come by twice a week to pick up our garbage.
These guys didn't have it easy let me tell you. They used to sneak in back of everyone's homes, driving in mud and trees and bushes, down narrow, bumpy alley's. When they would find a target ready to be picked up, it wasn't a 3 lb., white, plastic bag of fluff. No, these guys had to hoist a 50 lb. drum, with rusted bottom, over their heads and dump them into the garbage truck. There were no white, tidy plastic bags. There were wet, brown paper sacks or none at all!
Those great old metal drums were the best during a competitive game of hide'n-go-seek. Let's see you try to hide inside one of those dainty, white trash bags today!
Kudos go out to all of our sanitation workers!! We appreciate what you do.
