The city doesn’t collect trash way out here in the exurbs, at least not yet, so we have a choice of companies who will pick up our garbage and recycling for a modest fee.

The company we’ve chosen is the least expensive, collects the widest variety of recyclable materials, and also seems to be the most robot-friendly, which my son enjoys.

Of course, as the pictures of our first trash collection at the new house demonstrate, the robot waste management system isn’t quite as efficient as just having a second guy who hops on and off the truck at each house.
