Rubbermaid commercial grade 50 gallon garbage pail holds up to 175 pounds. Blogfinger photo.

This morning I watched the garbage pickup at my house in the Grove.  The two workers placed the above container onto a holder which enabled the lifting/dumping mechanism to pick it up and turn it upside down in the truck.  It was 90 degrees out,  and it was a pleasure to see them stand there while the machinery did the heavy lifting.   I never knew that this technology was available in OG.

So, it would be a kind gesture to get one of these. Note that the squirrels are trying to tunnel their way in though that stubborn Rubbermaid material.  They seem to be gaining ground.
