When I set out the garbage I do it in a very deliberate manner. The can is positioned against the curb just so. Any excess in bagged and stacked a certain way. Care is taken to avoid events like billowing charcoal ash or rank kitty-litter oders. Every pickup day before Christmas we set out three little banana-nut breads with gift certificates to a local restaurant tucked discretely inside the wrappers.

All this is done to elicit a specific emotional response from the sanitation workers. It seems to work. I call it the Art of Setting out the Garbage.
