trash

Don't mess with Texas y'all.

Time to go to the not so clean parts of Texas. The cities that don't have a good reputation. Today we're talking trash. Like walking into a public bathroom with no shoes kind of trash. Let's get into it.

The trash in Amarillo has been a hot topic for quite some time. First, we lost a lot of our dumpsters in different areas. Those magically turned into trash cans we got to roll into the front of our homes on trash day.

It's been a while since our dumpsters started getting emptied just once a week. An employee shortage caused this mess in the first place.

So here we are in the middle of this mess that we call the dumpster schedule change. I mean since we went from two days of having our dumpsters emptied per week to just once.

So where I live we luckily still have dumpsters in the alley. We haven't, luckily, switched to those stupid plastic garbage cans like some neighborhoods. I am dreading when that becomes a thing.

Woah it's crazy to think and to see how much trash we accumulate. Walk down any alley in Amarillo or drive down any street on trash day. You know what I am talking about. Now imagine a lot of that trash blowing on the streets of Amarillo.

National Cleanup Day is Saturday (9/18) and the City of Amarillo is planning on doing its part to help.

There are times that you see something in Amarillo. Sometimes it is something in your own back yard so to speak. You want to notify someone. The problem is you don't know who to call. You don't want to be on this endless "please hold" while they transfer you to someone else.

Here's what is going to be shut down on Monday. Plan accordingly!
