55 gallon drum that had "pick axe" holes punched in it, up on cinder blocks.

We had one when I was younger. It was never sunk in the ground, just placed on the ground near the corner of the deck. It was a concrete one with the steel lid.

If I remember right the garbage man was a pig farmer and used it as slop.

pickup truck was also the local hog farmer who fed all of your stinky garbage to his hogs that he got paid to collect then he turned around and sold you his bacon.he was actually one fart smeller. i mean smart fella,

I think the big swine flu epidemic put an end to the garbage man?

I have a plastic barrel with a lid to put bags in between dump/transferstation runs. We had the oil drum pick-axed when I was a kid. I thrwe a 3/8 steel rod through it as a kid, like a spear. Dad thought that someone shot it, I asked why someone would want to kill our trash barrel. He gave me the Dad -look...

We had the same kind when I was a kid. I remember my Dad having a nutty when the local racoons would come in pairs to dine. One opened it and one pulled all the "stuff" out of it. Dad would start flashing the porch lights and then if that didn't work, he'd throw whatever was available at 'em.
