Garbage

The garbage man always collects twice – in Texas

Garbage1

Twice per week, that is.  Each garbage bin is much, much bigger than you’ll find anywhere in Europe.  The contents of the bin are not regulated by law; anything from old boxes to old batteries to old bananas is ok.  And the driver stays in the air conditioned cab and operates the controls remotely.
