Citywide Cleanup Day
 |
Being one to learn from past mistakes my participation is not what it once was. I'm not setting out 20 pounds of flattened cans for some local dirtbag to pick them up and cart them off for personal profit.
Besides, I spent the bulk of last week's "staycation" on various lawn maintenance tasks and aside from cutting down a dead sassafras tree and trimming the suckers off the American Holly there is little to nothing remaining for me to do.
Suffice it to say that Citywide Cleanup Day required a different approach this year. I took the recyclables with intrinsic value to city hall and handed them over. This year it was a truck load of aluminum cans. The rest of the stuff will await curbside pickup at the city's leisure.
