[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I can maybe explain the garbage only in the kitchen trash.  Not excuse it mind you, just kinda explain it.   That's bc my retired DH decided we needed to cut expenses (we are more than fine, it's just he retired with nothing to do, and why I'm still working.)  Anyhow, he decided to cut our suburban trash pick up bc "it's just the two of us."  And yeah about 2/3's of the time it is, however I like to cook and we host family events and have adult kids that come visit.

So back to the trash, this means he cut some sort of deal with a neighbor that we could use their recycling pick up, and DH also thinks that entitles us to one "free" bag of trash per week.  What exactly the deal was I haven't bothered to question.  Anyhow, there is exactly one kitchen trash can and DH monitors the trash going into it. This includes the two other bathroom trash cans (we have 4 bathrooms in the house but only 2 have cans.)  When it's just us I kinda roll my eyes and let him do his thing.  Trash night is always entertaining as he starts sorting and consolidating trash and fretting over whether it's all going to fit.  I just let it go bc when he first told me he was doing this I warned him I wanted no parts and if he started involving me in any of this I'd restart trash service.  Fast forward to TDay and guests - and he is out and about monitoring their trash.  I've had to pull folks aside and explain what was going on, and I actually expected it to become a thing at dinner yesterday but luckily it didn't.  Until after dinner at the turkey carcass is sitting out.  I ask DH how he wants to dispose of it.  And he proceeds to take the disposable pan out on the deck and chuck the contents into the woods.  Then wash the disposable pan and ask me where to store it for next year.

So here's one possible explanation for the crazy trash stories.[/quote]

Similar--BIL stopped trash service in a mid-sized city in the South. Loads all trash into his pickup truck and drives 2 hours away to family property to burn it. He has a job, no idea why he thinks this is a good use of his time. Let alone the smoke.[/quote]
