Trash Pickup: Second Round

Joe Taco told Chaim that Joe the Malaysian from High Pearl Seafood Restaurant (one of Chaim's favorites) is in the garbage business. So for our next 2 tons (and hopefully our last) of garbage awaits in the garage for the second dumpster to arrive.

Chaim and Dumpster guy taking a quick break before our final garbage is driven away.

Mondays and Thursdays are garbage pickup days. So last Wednesday, Chaim stocked our fridge with beer and seltzer and went to the bank to get some cash for "Operation Sanitation Bribe". The plan was to run outside when we saw the city garbage men and palm a $20, give them some refreshment, in the hope to get them to take some of our bags. Unfortunately they were gone by the time we woke up.

At around 12pm, we heard the noise of garbage trucks, so Chaim ran outside to try again. Ray, the developer from down the street was already outside shaking his head. Apparently, the truck had gone by but the Sanitation Police was trailing behind, so "Operation Bribe" was abandoned for the whole block once again.
