Throwing out garbage pails

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

I really do like the new lidded garbage cans that Somerville has been giving out & asking us to use in lieu of our old ones. Thing is, I now have 2 of the new ones (because I'm in a two-family, both my tenants & I got one) and 5 old ones. This, in addition to the 2 no-sort recycling pails take up more than 1/2 my garage. How do I get rid of the old ones? Leaving them on the curb on garbage day had no effect.

We converted our extra one to a "yard waste only" one. They give out the stickers over at the lot behind Trum. It's already been handy for that, for the intermittent weeding without having a paper bag hanging around for weeks.

Likewise - but now we have to get rid of our old yard waste can :)
