Is it too much to ask that people put their trash in trash cans?
I made the (admittedly stupid) mistake of forgetting to retrieve my recycling bin from the sidewalk before I headed to work Tuesday.
I'm not sure how I forgot, honestly. I was kind of grumpy that morning after being awoken by the clattering and clanging of recyclables being picked up.

But, I forgot. When I returned home from work, someone in my building had been kind enough to grab the bin and place it outside my door.
But it was full of things I was not so happy to see. Apparently everyone who walked down my street decided to use my neglected recycling bin as a trash receptacle. It was full of cans (which I'm actually OK with, since they are recyclable), soggy pieces of paper, a mangled beer carton, and a dripping Popsicle stick accompanied by a sticky wrapper.
Ew.
I waited for the bin to dry before cleaning it up. I suppose I've learned my lesson, which is to make sure I pick up my recycling bin in the morning. Maybe I should just be happy the litter wasn't left all over the sidewalk?

Isnt it better they threw it in the recycle than on the street.Goes to show they do have some up bringing.
Isnt it better they threw it in there than on the street? Be happy.
