The one day a year you can put bulky
junk and as much
garbage as you want out on the
curb for
the authorities to haul away. A
good opportunity to find or to discard
worn-out furniture, or to
pick up raw materials for
art projects or building your
robot army. You can learn a lot about your
neighbors on Big Trash Day, but it usually
raises as many questions as it answers.
In bigger U.S. cities every day of summer is a big trash day in at least one neighborhood. To discourage scavengers many cities try to keep the big trash day schedule somewhat secret. The big trash day master schedule is not available to the general public. Residents are notified of their neighborhood's upcoming big trash day via postcard a few weeks in advance.
AKA: Bulky Waste Day
Here's a
bad haiku with a Big Trash Day theme. I wrote it for a
girlfriend one
National Bad Poetry Day (
August 18):
Meeting you was like
finding a brand new futon,
curbside, big trash day.
I know that
haiku should not be
romantic love poems, but this is a
bad haiku.
