I got all six cans up to the road.
(I found an additional, broken can that was being used for storage - it holds about as much as the big black plastic trash bag I used last week.)
In order to fill the last can, I added a really big piece of shaped styrofoam packaging. It took up half the can.

this is exhausting for me. I switch from being proud of myself to being sick to my stomach and appalled at all the trash. This is why I have to mostly do it on thursdays - so the whole process is over as quickly as possible and I don’t have to keep looking at the full cans. Even if I start to have regrets and rethink things - it doesn’t matter, because it is too late.
