I confess: I used to think Seattle garbage men were rude and negligent. Turns out, I just needed to see Boston garbage men to better appreciate the Seattle ones.
The guys seem to be having some kind of trash can throwing contest. Or maybe they're just assholes, I don't know. On the garbage day, trash cans fly in all directions, and mostly land good 20-30 feet away from where they were originally. On one occasion, I've seen a garbage man throw a can over a street-side-parked car. The can bounced off a fence on the other side of the sidewalk and hit the car. Fortunately, the car suffered no visible damage.
The most creative contestants also try to add some spice to the show by leaving some trash in the can before throwing it. The view of a flying can leaving a trash trace behind is nothing short of spectacular.
