RE: Today Was Garbage Day!

I have a trash shed and go about every 2 - 3 months as I also recycle as much as possible. There is pickup once a week on our road (not mandatory) but it is wicked expensive. When I go, our full size pickup bed is usually full. That includes the recycling.
I have a bank to the swamp on the north side of our property and for the last 42 years have tossed all our waste we don't compost over it. I can't imagine not having a bank if you are a gardener...

I'm just glad nobody has noticed that this house hasn't had trash pickup for about 12 years!
We have a 60 foot long mound where all the yard waste ends up. At any given time, only about 15 feet is active, and that's where the yard waste goes. it's takes about 8-10 years to make some great organic matter for the garden. Since the price hike for yard waste, I've started a sort of "Hügelkultur* project at one end, as a way to break down branches and larger pieces of wood.
