Garbage

Definition

Really, how much darn trash can one family create? Staggering. To CPE this card means, at minimum, you take out the trash before the garbage truck turns the corner of your block (which day is it again?). Whoever holds this card is responsible for anticipating when trash bags are running low, and a word to the wise: Don’t you dare sit back down on the couch until you put a new bag back in the trash can!

Conception

Things will be thrown away, meaning you will have garbage

Planning

All Non-Apartment Dwellers:

  • Applying to the city/municipality for garbage bins
  • Taking note of garbage day

Execution

  • Placing/replacing bag in home trash can
  • Removing full garbage bags
  • Placing full garbage bags in trash shoot/outdoor bins
  • Labeling bins
  • Taking bins back out/in, driving to town dump/placing garbage in alley
  • Checking bins for overflow trash/keeping bins clean

Minimum Standard of Care

Is trash out of your home before it overflows, and if applicable, did the cans go out before trash day?
