 SR> There's a weight limit on what they'll pick up though.

I think the limit for us is anything that fits the container and doesn't burst
it. I have seen them pick up some of the blue wheelie bins that were
overflowing with 30 gallon black tie bags full of detritus. But, they only will
empty the containers that are provided by Allied Waste/Republic Services. I did
a clear out of my spare (warehouse/junk) room and that week the bin was heavy
enough that I had trouble wheeling it to the curb for pick-up. I was a bit
concerned for the spindly axle and the cheap plastic wheels.

 SR> We don't get the other ones any more.

Mostly we get the one man trucks. I suspect that when there are not enough of
the arm equipped trucks available or the arm is "kronk" we get a twofer. After
all machines work for less than humern beans.

Naaaah. They just call in more lawyers. Lawyers are professional foot draggers
(among other less acceptable things).
