Today's trash day. I shoved the pizza box as far into the bag as it would go, but there still wasn't enough to tie the top together in a knot, my preferred method of closing. (Because it leaves a loop as a handle.) I tried gathering it together for a twisty tie, but that wasn't doing either. So I grabbed my stapler. *ker-chunk! ker-chunk! ker-chunk!* and it was shut. The pizza box was trying to rip out the side a bit too, so I opened the stapler and *ker-chunk!* stapled both sides of the hole onto the box. Whee! :)

Next I needa rig a ramp from the kitchen window to a spot next to the curb.

a pizza box is its own container. it doesn't really need to go into the bag.

It does here: we pay by the trash bag. Specifically, we buy bright yellow city trash bags, in medium and large, from grocery stores. All trash must be in one to be picked up. Recycling goes in large plastic containers for free.
