I am responding to the article in regards to the trash bins and the size that some find unwieldy. Personally, I do not struggle to move the bins, although I know there are certainly those who do.
And I do believe it is worth noting that my household of two people and a smattering of pets does not produce 65 gallons of trash in a single week, sometimes not even in three. The same can be said of our recycling.
That said, what moved me to write was the evident desperation of Judy Anderson and her friends, who have trouble wheeling their bins out to the curb and are resorting to hiring people to do it for them.This seems outrageous to me, especially since it’s such a small task, it should just be an act of neighborly kindness.
Therefore, I would be delighted to offer my services: if anyone wants to write me at the provided address, I would be happy to arrange a time to drive over and wheel the bins out to the curb the evening before trash day. No one should be forced to pay for neighborly kindness, least of all during a pandemic. I hope that others might follow in my example and help out their neighbors who may be in need.
And for the record, I also support the smaller bins, and I suspect many others do as well.
