TALKING TRASH

Each garbage container provided by Waste Management has a number. For instance, as of a few days ago, 130 Caldecott Lane, had the following garbage containers:

• 959 007700 - 96 Gallon
• 9511 011537 - 96 Gallon
• 9509 007699 - 96 Gallon
• 3519750 - 35 Gallon
• 3511 053266 - 35 Gallon

Want to track YOUR garbage containers?  Record the number on the container and note the gallon size.
