… where DOES the trash go???

I was writing up my solution about the trash / recycling question. I’d read lots of documents, tons of tales, reads of city reports, and was just about to hit publish.

But then I paused.

I found four different places where the recycling goes and where the trash ends up. I realized that 3 out of the 4 made sense, but I couldn’t understand the fourth destination. What went there?

As I was writing, I got stuck with a simple question: What DOES that fourth trash/recycling site take in? I know it’s a real place (I’ve actually gone on runs past the place), and I know it’s for recycling… but does any of MY trash go there? It’s got a contract with my city, it’s close to the city, but I couldn’t tell. I did not know what to write.

I’d been working on this for a few hours, carefully documenting my research, but as I went back over my documents, I could NOT find the answer. Huh.

So….

… I ran out of time to finish my writeup this week. I’ll have time next week, so stay tuned for my update post early next week. I’ll tell you what I did, how I noticed the problem, and what I did to get around it.

I admit that I thought this would be a fairly simple story.

But the great thing about doing SearchResearch is that even simple things sometimes have untold depths. (I love these kind of unexpectedly complex issues that come up!)

Keep searching!!
