ARR offers a variety of trash can sizes, so knowing your household's...ahem..."waste profile" is key.
Pro Tip: If you find yourself constantly shoving rogue trash bags back in like a Tetris master, it's probably time to size up.

QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
- The 96-Gallon Challenge: You gotta prove your commitment to trash accumulation before they let you graduate to the big leagues. If you don't already have a 96-gallon bin, you'll need to start there.
- Recycling BFFs: Austin's got that whole "reduce, reuse, recycle" thing going on. So, for every trash can size you have, you gotta have the same size for recycling. Looks like it's time to up your recycling game too!
