This is how it was when we lived in Ammon – they road on the truck and then ran to the side of the road, picked up the can and threw it in!I’ve been thinking about garbage – the stuff we accumulate day after day, the stuff that needs disposing of, disgusting stuff we don’t know what else to do with. We see garbage cans everywhere and for that I’m grateful! I am happy that I can just walk out into my garage and put my “stuff” for the garbage man to take every Thursday away from here. Have you ever missed a “garbage day”? Not fun, the garbage begins to smell as it grows out of its container. Imagine how it would be after a month, or a year!
I am also gaining more appreciation for disposing of stuff appropriately, i.e. recycling! I think a little bit goes a long way in that department. I’m not perfect, but I am way more conscience to the fact that the garbage man can only do so much – I need to do my part too. After all I do have an interest in the future of this great earth.
So basically all I’m trying to say is that I’m glad there is a place to put stuff we no longer need and that someone is willing to take it to its new home.

Funny thing, as we started reading your blog, we were thinking more in terms of garbage that people accumulate in their minds and hearts as a result of negative thinking, smelly words or comments, or just not knowing how to get rid of pseudo-spiritual and psychological “junk”. Your opening paragraph was like the opening statement of a great speech on Keeping our minds and hearts clean. We also like the earth too.
