Is the day after Christmas the worst day of the year for a Trashman? I would assume so.


And, people are crazy. You couldn't pay me to go to the mall or Wal-Mart today.


I think I'll do my Christmas shopping in November next year. :doh:

Actually that was a mild picture. People are off work and at home for the next few days and they generate a lot of trash. The next few days are a crucial time in our industry. Thirty to fourty percent of all residental trash is generated between Thanksgiving and New Years Day. Here is a break down of the waste generated in the United States over the holidays

We will purchase more than two billion holiday cards (300,000 trees’ worth)
We will use 38,000 miles of ribbon
We will use half of the country’s annual paper production as wrapping paper
We will cut down 50 million Christmas trees
We will purchase 40 percent of the annual battery production
We will spend $480 billion on gifts and related entertainment
We will use 27 percent more energy than the rest of the year

Anyway you look at it that is a lot of trash!
