Garbage day can be an embarrassment, especially to teenagers on toilet disposal day. Here we see a home off of Lawndale Drive that had three toilets replaced. It looks really strange to be driving home at night and to see white porcelain toilets glowing by streetlight on the side of the road. Maybe these toilets are being replaced for water efficient ones. Toilet #1 on the left looks like it fought back when being removed!
The City of Greensboro hauls away just about anything that is put to the curb by dawn on garbage day. Likely, used toilet removal is high on a sanitation worker's list of least favorite tasks-- especially when the tanks have not been removed. We offer this up for Alieni's monochrome meme. Usually, we LOVE lots of color in our photos. However, today's photo has more journalistic appeal when presented in black and white.
Chilly sitting...

I love it! I can imagine what our garbage collectors would say if they found things like this beside the road!

Those can be a lot of trouble just sitting there.

Three abandoned friends have a lot to talk about. Journalistic appeal? It is documentary!

Neat shot. It would be even stranger to drive by and see people posing complete with newspapers. Now that would be a fun shot to stage.

I suddenly thought of Ephesus in Turkey.....
But I guess this might not be a place that tourists go to.
FUN anyway!!:-)
