Does the whole world have "Hard Rubbish" or just Australia
Vigo:
My town sucks when it comes to picking up stuff like that...Nothing of that sort is available. I think every summer, they secretly pick up all crap left from the university students, but will not say anything to avoid promoting the dumping of crap on the curb.
The garbage pickup is a sorry state here...my garbage man will whip my trash can clear across the street if I stuff my can too full...complaining does nothing as well, even if I saw the incident and tell the garbage service I saw what happened, they still say it was the wind.
:angry:

That last part is hazardous materials... different issue. We have that too and I always manage to miss the day I'm supposed to bring it in. I have a can of gas/oil mix that I've been waiting to bring in for two years.

When I first saw this picture, I didn't realize I was seeing 3 superheros... Rogue, Storm and Captain Obvious! ;D

They don't have "Hard Rubbish" day in the county where I live, I guess a bunch of crap sitting on the curb is too unsightly for us. Which is a pain in the ass, you have to haul it down to the "Solid Waste Facility" (dump) to get rid of it, and you have to pay.
When I have to get rid of something, this pisses me off no end. On the other hand, the county I work in does hard rubbish day all the time- and there's always a bunch of refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens and crap sitting on the sidewalks, too.
I wonder which is worse?

For those of you who don't get to enjoy the aussie euphoria of hard rubbish I will explain.

Everyone in Australia, except for diverdown apparently, calls it "Council Cleanup".
I've had plenty of hard rubbish in my time but it's not the type you're talking about.

"Everyone" ? Strange it doesnt seem to be just me. I did a poll at work and we all call it hard rubbish.....and so does the council who sent out the reminder letter.........Who cares what its called though?
I found a food/chocolate/chips vending machine yesterday............was a struggle getting it in the ute but it works 100%.. I think its time to list it on ebay :)
ChadTower:
In our tiny town, people put out one big item per week with the trash. The trash truck then radios that in to another second truck that collects the big stuff later that day. If your big item sits there more than a couple of days the neighbors will get ticked off, if it's there more than a week someone will call town hall and you get a "warning ticket".
I have a property line on a main road, though. I have put things out on that sidewalk with a "free" sign and it is always taken. Once put out a toilet there and it was gone in a half hour. Other stuff is easy enough to dispose of via Freecycle if the person shows up to get it.
