[Grovenet] Tired of the garbage

[Geri]

Yes ... and ours is definitely red (one of those old ones).

I do like the huge recycling bins (for all but glass) --
nice not to have to do so much separating -- and
even though they do pick up recycling every week
now, those green-and-yellow bins take more than a
week for us to fill ... !
