The garbagemen of Jersey

I used to surly and nasty garbagemen. they come once a week, if not on strike, and chose whether your garbage is worthy of being taken or left behind to molder in its insignificance. We are required to have three bins, one for the organice types of garbage, food, cat litter, etc. One bin for recyclables which includes papers, bottles, cans, some plastic. and finally one for trash that doesn't fit anywhere else. You are only allowed to put out the garbage every week and the other bins every other week. You must take them to the curb and bring them back, you must have them out on time, and if they look inside and don't like what you have in there, it gets left for you to figure out where you went wrong and hope that the next two weeks worth of whatever will fit in the bin with the last two weeks worth.
So in the Isle of Jersey this week, I am trying in vain to locate a bus stop and finally asked the local garbageman who was delighted to help me. Then I wait for the bus and watch the garbagemen at work, incredulously. There are three and the driver hops out as needed to help. The first two jump off the truck as it stops and jog briskly into the courtyard of the house to bring out the bins! They then line up the bins according to what is written on them, garbage, paper only, bottles and can, other trash. seems like houses here have at least 4 bins and sometimes 5. The truck is able to handle two bins at a time and as I watch, the men put on the garbage bin and the paper bin and the truck lifts them up and dumps them, exactly into the same location. Next comes the bottle bin and the plastic bin and sure enough, the truck dumps them exactly in the same location. Finally the last two bins, cans and trash, are picked up and dumped exactly in the same location. The two workers then job the bins back into the house courtyard, the driver works the truck so all 6 bin contents are swept into the truck, in exactly the same location. they then drive 5 feet to the next house and repeat the process. I always suspected thatall the recycling was pretty much a fun effort on our parts but I have to admit watching the men jog after the bins was quite entertaining and it wouldn't have been near so much fun had there just been one bin to dump
