AHA!

so, the somerville city web site says, regarding the curbside recycling schedule: "Place all recyclable materials next to trash on the curbside by 7AM."

and i've never successfully managed to put the stuff out early enough in the morning. if i think to put it out the night before (a rarity), then it's great.

i've just figured out why i've never managed to put the stuff out in the morning, even when i try to do so just before 7am: the recycling guys' route must start close to my house, because they hit my place at 0630.

i dropped a note to the somerville city webmaster saying "hey, you should update this."

if i were an asshole, i'd put my trash out at 6:59 and then call the DPW when it didn't get picked up and complain, but really, that's more of an asshole than i need to be, here.

clearly, i need to start thinking of it as a weds evening task, not a thurs morning task.

likewise :)
i always do my trash sunday night, because in the morning, zombie-me has all i can do to just get out the door to work.

That would be kind of useless, seeing as miss_chance has trash collection on Tuesday and yours is on Monday.

i assume that wasn't aimed at me? :)

or did you think i was suggesting she do hers sunday night too?

my "likewise" was to her "never have occurred to me to consider something that had to be done by 7am as a morning task."...

Ah. I thought it was to her offer of another place to put the garbagerecycling.
