Top ten reasons your recycling wasn't picked up?

10. The recycling cart was not set out before the truck went by (should be out by 6:30 a.m.)

9. The recycling cart grew arms and rolled itself to Florida for the winter.

8. The cart had unacceptable items in it such as clothes, leaves, wood, t.v.'s, or an album of
Bing Crosby's greatest hits (the cover would have been okay).

7. The cart had aspirations to be a magician and perfected the disappearing act (please contact us for another cart).

6. It was out on the wrong day, recycling is only collected once every other week.

5. It was your significant other's turn to take out the recycling (they may have told you they did it, but they really forgot)

4. One of six holidays (New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) fell somewhere between Monday and Friday and pushed back your collection by one day

3. Oops!

2. The cart was pulled in before the truck made it through the route (the truck broke down and by the time it was fixed they barely finished the route by 6:30 p.m. to avoid getting fined by the city.

1. Gremlins, they still exist, and they attacked the driver and stole the truck right before they got to your street.
