Even The Trashcans are Elegant

I have posted a few things about Butchart Gardens but this is a slightly silly one.  Like any public place, they need to have trash cans around the place for the visitors to deposit their detritus.  In their case, they can’t just have a normal trash can.  That would be far too out of keeping with the rest of the venue.  They need to have something more in keeping.  How about these for the best looking trash cans you have come across.

How Desperate Do You Get in Quarantine? A Garbage Truck?

Being quarantined at home and working from home means you have limited things to shoot.  It also means you get to see things that happen during the day which you normally miss by breaking at work.  I put the trash out on Monday evenings but would not normally see it being collected during the day on Tuesday.  Now I see that.  Also, I get to enjoy the engineering of modern trash collection and the skill of the operator sweeping in to pick up each can in turn.  These little thins amuse the engineer in me although I guess I am probably a long way from the rest of the populous in this.  For a small percentage of you, here is some video I put together of our trash guy.  Let’s hope we get to go out again soon and I will look for more exciting subjects!
