Has anyone taken the time to observe the Raleigh garbage trucks grab the residential green containers and sling them in the top of the truck?! Woah! So, my first experience observing this at our new place included styrofoam exploding 15 feet into our front yard! Not knowing any better, I had neatly leaned huge styrofoam pieces against the container (from this tube tv we have). Yeah, bad idea. Truck comes, pincher arm extends, pinchers violently swing around our green trash container, DEMOLISHING the styrophome (that, by the way, i could not break into smaller pieces ... i tried ... hard). The trash guy corrected my mistakes and was generous enough to let me reload the container multiple times while he kept grabbing it and dumping it. Those things are awesome! Definitely a coming sermon illustration ... perhaps about relentlessness destroying trash in our lives???
