Houston Trash Cans: From Woeful Bins to Overflowing Glee!
Ah, Houston trash cans. The unsung heroes (or maybe villains?) of our curbside dramas. But fear not, fellow Houstonians, for this here guide will be your compass on the tempestuous seas of waste disposal!
Act I: The Woeful Bin
Let's face it, your trusty trash can has seen better days. It's got more cracks than the Liberty Bell after a particularly rowdy rodeo. The raccoons use it for percussion practice at 3 AM. Is it time to sing the blues? Heck no!
Houston residents get a free initial 96-gallon bin from the city, which should be enough for most households. But maybe you're a family that produces enough waste to rival a banana republic. Fear not, for there is a solution!
Act II: The Glorious Quest for More
There are two paths to trash can nirvana, my friend. The first path is righteous and free! If your bin is damaged by city collection or a rogue flood (hey, it happens!), the city will replace it for free. Just imagine the relief on your bin's face!
The second path involves a small fee, but oh, the rewards! The Add-A-Can program allows you to request an additional bin (or two!) for a monthly service charge. Think of it as a VIP upgrade for your garbage!
Here's how to embark on your glorious quest:
- Dial 3-1-1, Houston's magical trash hotline.
- Channel your inner Shakespeare and explain your bin woes to the friendly customer service person.
- For the Add-A-Can program, they'll get you all set up and a sticker will be issued for your new bin. Remember, that sticker is like Cinderella's glass slipper – the trash truck won't recognize your bin without it!
Act III: Denouement and Revelry!
There you have it, folks! Your trash woes are a thing of the past. Now you can dispose of those banana peels and rogue socks with pride!
Remember, a happy trash can makes for a happy Houston. So go forth, conquer your waste disposal woes, and may your bins overflow with nothing but pride!
