For those with curb trash pickup, I've taking a liking to seeing how many weeks I can go without the need to have the trash picked up. I've just completed week 3. I see this as a good thing since it reflects less consumption on my part (despite a wife who is very un-badass), and it enables the fuel sucking garbage truck to skip a stop. The more people that do this, the less fuel burned, especially in my boneheaded city that actually pays to ship its trash 70 miles away, and the less landfill space required.
