Or as noted above the garbage men themselves threw the wheel barrow filled with trash into the garbage truck. That’s what they do. Either way, time for a new one.

Good morning :)
I live at 509 Del Mar, so whoever took my black wheel barrel, please return it!! It was obvious it was not garbage because it was full of the debris waiting for the garbage men to empty it on GARBAGE DAY!!! If it was free, I would have put it out on any day besides garbage day! You know who you are so please return it and clear your conscience, thank you!

If someone was driving around, and saw it, wouldn't they dump what was in it, out, before loading it? I doubt the garbage people would clean up the mess the driving around people left..... so I'm going with the driving around people knew it wasn't a freebee, the garbage men took it. Sherlock Holmes

Thanks. That's interesting to know. We live in another part of Florida now and we have to set our garbage cans out the morning of trash pick up. If we try to set them out the night before the bears get into them. You wake up to trash strewn all over the street.

I had never heard of garbage men taking the entire trashcan - that is good to know!

Well, just my thought, but I'd not ever leave anything I wanted to keep at the end of my driveway. There's a lesson there.

My wife has a habit of leaving bags of stuff she wants to keep, and yes, you guess
it, right next the our garbage can in the garage. :shocked:

"Honey, did you see the bag of flowers I bought and left here?" :pray:

I was flabbergasted! Maybe he tips them?
