Every other week we have yard refuse pick-up along with our garbage pick-up. We pay for it with our property taxes. The pick-up man drives a rather large truck and gets paid a rather large salary. It seems like, at times, that the more money one earns on their job, the more reluctant they are to actually earn it. This little can of garden clippings did not get picked up a few days ago because, as the label says, it is "overstuffed". Really? The can weighed no more than 15 lbs. and had a small, green, flexible branch sticking out of the top, something that could have been pushed down easily if it was a huge bother to the collector. Or, he could have taken the offending branch out and thrown it in the truck on its own. But, no. He took time out of his busy route schedule to write a note and stick on the offending branch and then leave it at the curb so we could bring it back to our house and let it sit for another two weeks.
I want a small refund on my property taxes.

Ha ha! You got a grumpy garabage collector...oh pardon. A sanitation engineer!
I'd call that over-stuffed and witussedchh no lid. You have to draw the line somewhere. You wouldn't want to set a precedent.
with no lid
