Three “trashy” 50-word stories.

This week’s stories are by a “guest author” — my husband, Bob McVeigh!
 
Rules Service Predilection
Friday is trash day in our neighborhood. Bins must be out by 7:30AM, on the curb, wheels facing out. Pickup is typically between 8AM and 10AM. Household trash weekly, recycle and yard waste alternate weeks. Bins must not be overloaded, recycling not bagged, yard waste without debris, no construction trash. I started taking in a few neighbors’ bins a few years ago when I noticed TR’s bins, two doors down, were left on the curb for days. She’s single and often works until way after dark, so I thought I’d do her a favor. She sometimes thanks us with bourbon. Not that I’m particular, but I think the bins should be placed in a certain order. Closest to the house door should be recycling, next trash, and then yard waste. Often the trash is not filled weekly, yard waste typically just monthly. The recycle bin is definitely the most used.
