The new people

We are having some problems with getting our trash picked up. Last week we thought trash day was Wednesday, so we put it out and it sat there all day. That evening we talked to a lady down the street who informed us that because of Columbus Day trash day was moved to Thursday for that week. So, we put our trash out last Thursday and it sat there all day again. After being slightly embarassed about our trash sitting out for two whole days I called the city to find out when my trash day is and I was told it would be Thursday. Well, for those of you who don’t know, today is Thursday and at 6:00 am I got up to take the trash out. Our trash is sitting on the curb all alone. Nobody else on the street has trash sitting out. Once again we look like the new people.

Update: I was sitting on the porch talking on the phone and this guy walks by pointing at our trash. He says that trash day is Thursday, but that we are suppose to put the trash in the alley behind our house, not in front of the house. So, we know for sure what day is trash day, all we have to do is find the alley behind our house.
