Garbage In Garbage Out

What to do with your trash?

We escaped the heat and piling trash following the Waste Management Lock-Out with a brief family trip to trash free Tahoe. Upon returning home we were welcomed by the site of trash-lined streets over which the brown and grey cans of WM loomed like Sentries. So what are we to do?

Do you leave them out? Do you bring them in? When will they be picked up?

Jean Quan's District 4 Newsletter - out in e-format today - suggests to leave you can out because you never know if they'll be picked up. Read more about that, the emerging situation and trash tips in her newsletter here.

She recommends that you check the Oakland Recycles Website for updates on info (here)

A good article appeared in yesterday's SF Gate on the situation (with interviews from our neigbhors) (here)
