Article source for : A Mighty Wind
My mom called me in my apartment upstairs from her (I own a duplex). She wanted me to get in the containers since this wind came up. I went down about 12:00 Midnight, turned out the porch light, saw only one container (I have two for recycling), and went out to find the other. I found it easily across the street minus all the cat food cans, pop cans, milk jugs, etc. that I had so labored to crush to make sure the recycling guys didn't have to return to "base" because they'd filled up their truck. I spent the next 15 minutes going from yard to yard retrieving my recyclables (which was fast becoming their unwanted trash). I brought the container inside. I'll try to get it out tomorrow before the recycling truck comes, or take it to a recylcing center in the middle of the week. Nature makes a hash of our best laid "environmentally sound" plans.
