I have the perfect match for me.
My husband has a strange obsession with “winning” the trash competition in our neighborhood. He gets a thrill from having huge amounts of trash to put out. The more there is, the happier he is.
And I, as a slob, am only too willing (and able) to oblige.
He was feeling particularly triumphant on this day, so I took a picture. It’s from my front window, since I’m not quite ready to make the necessary explanations that would be required if I were to stand in my front yard and photograph our garbage.
Our across-the-street neighbors were running a close second, but they have trash cans, which add height to their arrangement.
Ours . . . is aaaaaallllllllll trash, baby.
I’m linking this up to Finer Things Friday over at The Finer Things in Life, because I’m so incredibly thankful for my perfectly-matched-to-me husband. I’m also linking up (late) to Things I Love Thursday over at The Diaper Diaries.
LOL – great post!
Too funny. I call my hubs the Recycle King. It's actually a little like the trash competiton because we are allowed only one trash barrell a week in my town. That's to encourage recycleing and to cut costs on trash collection. And to make it fair for small families/singles vs large families. We Trash collection fees are the same for every house. So if you don't recycle, you make more trash. Then you need to buy special bags to put your trash that doesn't fit in to the barrell in. Makes sense? Anyway, even though i do have the bags, just in case, hubs is obsessed with not using them. I try to recycle everything, but when I'm doi ng a major ourge it can soemtimes be a oain to set aside stuff. Whe I don't, I can find hubs going through our trah, separting it. Well, he could have worse quirks!
Sorry for the misspellings and typos above, I am typing challenged! I forgot to add that my hubs is so excited when we have the most recycle bins on our street and no extra bags. Weird, but cute:)
We are limited to one bag of garbage here. We have to be careful about recycling and composting everything we can. We put out 2 recycling boxes and a green bin of organic garbage along with our garbage bag. It makes a pretty impressive pile with all the containers.
Love the trash post!
I just discovered your blog..I am organizational challenged as well!!! I am going to have to go back and read your older posts!
I am like your hubby, except with recycling. I try to have the biggest pile on our long street.
