    Just put them in the black bags you use for dead cats. Then you put them in the garbage can with the rest of your trash and nobody will know unless you live in some ass backwards part of town where they don't have the trucks with the claw that grabs the can and dumps the trash in the back.

    i just moved to toronto form houston - i was way thrown off by having to put my yard clippings in a paper bag, but after getting used to it, its a piece of cake. not sure why th ebags are so steep, you buy a pack of 20 from home depot or wally world for like 5 bucks.


    the crazy part is that in ontario they only pick up trash twice a month... but they get your recylying once a week. i am amazed how much i now recylce and we only put one trashcan out for the trash pickup.

    when we went home for the holidays it was wild to look back at how we used to throw recylcable goods in the trash, yard clippings in plastic bags, etc...

    give it a chance, its not that big a deal and it keeps the landfills from filling too quick!

    In my neighborhood in spring they just switched waste companies and gave us 2 of the 110 gallon cans, one for recycling and one for trash, they changed trash pickup from twice a week to once a week, recycling only picks up once every 2 weeks and there are only 2 large trash pickup days a year instead of once a week.

    For those that have their lawn mowed and bagged we have to put those in the new trash can, in the summer half our trash will be grass. It might be time to build a firepit in the back yard.

    I'm going to have to get some recycling cans for inside the house and start to separate it before it goes outside to not have trash or recycling stacked up in the garage for a week at a time. Atleast we get credit for the recycling, i need to sign up for that...

    Atleast i didn't go get that 3rd trashcan i was about to buy.

    not sure what any of this has to do with hippies but as far as new york city goes, you are certainly welcome not to visit. it would eat you alive anyway. fat, cancerous, rednecks are banned to upstate and pennsyltucky. you would feel very out of place here as "culture" is a multi-faceted thing.

    The only thing ****holes eat is ****. I am more than proud to be out of place in that trendy multi-faceted turd POS place. Thugs, street urine and spray paint are not culture. Real culture is not manufactured.

    Why would I go there? I would probably be killed there and die outside of Texas. No, Im not kidding. Loudmouths and hipster / artists who need a baseball bat to the face are not culture.
