Like a gnarly, California beach dude in search of the perfect wave, I am the Jeff Spicoli of refuse!
Plastics only, please.
It’s my quest to find the perfectly balanced, equilateral triangle, lovingly inscribed with a number within its center. (Equilateral: three equal sides & three equal angles. Each angle being 60 degrees. I admit I had to look it up, but I knew what I meant!)
Yes, I am a recycling junkie. And I plan on saving the world—-one Sunny D bottle at a time.
When my trash guy announced “curbside recycling”, I was elated. I had already been sorting my garbage and taking my recyclables to the drop-off area. So curbside pick-up would save me a trip—little did I know it would be the “seed-starter” to my blooming obsession.
Now, I’m checking everything for that stupid triangle.
I turn the container over. Flip it around. Tilt it this way & that. Is that a freakin’ 5 or a 6? Give me a better angle. More light please.
My search reminds me of a mother ape preening her baby for fleas & ticks!
As I get older it gets harder and harder to see that silly little number. I think I need a monocle like Colonel Klink. Maybe that’s why he wore one, so he could check his recyclables.
My obsession has gotten so bad I have looked for a number on the back of the triangular roadsigns. I have even been known to pull junk out of other folks’ garbage and brought it home to be recycled. Call me the Fred Sanford of the looney (recycling) bin.
I guess I have always been a “tree-hugger” of sorts. And recycling is just one small way each of us can help save our environment. So I am willing to do my part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that sounds a little corny. But come on, cut me some slack will ya. Geez.
Fruits of my labor.
So if you see a dark, lanky figure dragging his foot through your garbage…don’t worry…it’s just me living a triangular obsession.

If he had went to the UFC he’d be in line for a title shot, taking at least 3 fights a year, and a Xyience contract.

Hi – really good website you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed working with computing machines and am attempting to learn code in my free time (which there is never enough of lol).
