Three bags in and I finally admitted to myself I was just paying extra to watch lettuce rot in my crisper drawer. Frozen spinach and mixed veg have saved my meal prep from becoming a science experiment in regret. Honestly, the only thing that goes bad faster than fresh produce is my willpower to actually cook it on a Tuesday night.

That string line trick worked for me, they usually pipe down real quick.

You ever think about how those guys see way more of our trash habits than we admit? Bundling the branches is just common sense, keeps the truck moving and saves their backs. I've had haulers leave notes before, always worth listening. Respect goes both ways with those folks.
