No one likes to shatter illusions or bust myths,
but the time has come.
There are no garbage elves here.
Some people have left items on the floor of
the garbage shed, clearly trusting that the garbage elves would do their work
and make them disappear. When the items — furniture, Christmas trees, other discarded
items — did miraculously disappear, their faith was rewarded.
But the sad truth is, the items were
disposed of by fellow residents who simply took care of doing what should have
been done by someone else in the first place.
Our condo corporation pays to have the bins
moved outside, where the city trucks collect the trash and recyclables.
Anything left on the floor just stays there, until some thoughtful person removes
it.
There are blue bins for plastics, glass and
cans; a big yellow bin for paper and cardboard (which includes boxes that have
been BROKEN DOWN); and a dumpster for “regular” garbage. If you need to get rid
of items that aren’t appropriate for one of those bins, please call the city to
find out how to dispose of them.
We have no custodian here. And there are no
garbage elves.
