3 weeks is pretty rough. sometimes I can go 3-4 weeks without needing to take out the bin, but not if I'm doing any kind of project around the house. there have been times when I was work limited by the volume of materials going out. right now I've down stepped my trash/recycle pickup to every other week to save a few bucks and see if I can make better lifestyle choices re:garbage.

but fuck all that anyway. how the shit does furloughing the labor force for a vital logistical civic service make any goddamn sense? you just gutted the income of a bunch of people in every community for a service everybody uses and expects.

and when they do go around, every bin is gonna be overloaded so every shift will be mother fucked, people will walk and there will be garbage piling up everywhere.

even if I was the biggest shit weasel on earth garbage services would be among the last things I dick around with.

Every council where I've lived is already on three week collection, and it's fine actually.
