291. Trash Days
Frank just moved from an apartment into a
house with his family. When he lived in
six-story apartment building, dealing with the trash was
. Frank usually just dropped a bag of garbage
a trash compactor chute. There was one trash
chute on every floor of the building. The
was in a small room located next to
elevator. Frank had to take cans, bottles and
recyclables to the basement and put them in
special bin. He did not though have to
about remembering what day was trash day. He
not have to worry about taking the trash
to be collected. That was the job of
building's superintendent.
The two-bedroom house Frank moved into
no superintendent though. Frank was provided with three
by the city. Each trashcan was a different
. The black one was for regular garbage. The
one was for paper, plastic and cans so
they could be recycled. The green bin was
leaves, cut grass and tree trimmings. Each bin
to be put out to the curb before
city sanitation trucks came around early Monday morning.
couldn't put the cans out too early, either.

and have to pay a fine.
Frank decided
set a reminder on his cell phone. Every
night at 6:00 in the evening his phone
beep reminding him to take the trash bins
the curb. Frank also had to pay the
every three months for trash collection. That was
that he didn't have to do when he
an apartment. Living in a house sure involved
lot more responsibility than living in an apartment
