Snellville Trash Talk

Hee hee hee, it cracks me up when I title a blog post as 'trash talk' and you clicked on it because you thought it would be gossip. Shame on you, and you, and even you! Tsk tsk, I expected it of the others but I thought you were so nice.

Anyhoo, this is what a blue Snellville trash bag looks like.

If you have too much trash to fit in your trash can, do not just pile it on top of the trash can. If the Robertson guys are feeling charitable toward you, when they see you running out to the curb half dressed in the rain, in your socks, on trash day morning - because you forgot to put the trash out the night before, they might have mercy on you and take your trash, and even your extra bits. But please, Chief Whitehead asks for you to keep your personal extra bits covered.

But, for most times that you have extra trash to discard, you will need to purchase (AKA buy, spend money...I know, shocker that it's me saying that!) The concept seems really weird at first, but I do think it's a great idea when you understand it better.

I explained it to my dad (rest in peace) as
"it's like postage for your trash."

My dad responded how I expected he would:
"that's the most asinine thing I've ever heard in my life!"

But here's how I look at it, it's like a tax that's only paid by the people who use the extra service.
Maybe it would be easier for the City of Snellville to charge every homeowner a higher fee for trash pickup, and forget about the blue bags, eh? But think about it! Even if you do buy these bags on occasion, it's probably still much less going out of our pockets over time. We are only paying it if we need it and use it.

Now, you folks on Pharrs Road, I need to talk to you. I was driving on Pharrs today and y'all have all kinds of junk piled up - on top of, and beside your trash cans, in all sorts of wrappers, boxes, etc. I never saw a Snellville blue trash bag. Naughty naughty naughty! You are not special because you live between Grayson Parkway and Scenic Highway you know. Yes, we're all jealous of you but you need to follow the rules here just like all the rest of us. So behave.

PS: Has anyone else wondered why there are Stars of David (hexagram) in the old Snellville crest/logo (as you can see on these bags?) If I find out, I'll post it.
