Garbage day in Fulham
Yes, those are bags of garbage and recycling (in the orange bags) sitting in front of an Austin Martin.
Each week, there is a large garbage truck (as we call it in the US) that drives down each street as a couple of guys walk ahead of it pulling bags of garbage from in front of people’s houses. I’m not sure why people have cans (bins) to put the garbage in since these guys usually just open it and grab whatever large bag of garbage is in it – leaving whatever loose items behind for the owner to put in a bag for next week. These guys stack the bags in the street or in parking spaces so when the truck comes along, the guy on the back of the truck doesn’t have to go far before tossing it into the truck. 2/3rd of the truck holds the garbage and 1/3rd of it holds the recycling.
I think it’s time I take a holiday if I’m down to blogging about garbage!
