When I was growing up in my parent's home in nothern
New Jersey (my folks were from Queens - this is the key),
we had two containers for wastes in the kitchen. One was
the "garbage pail" were we threw all WET items. The
"rubbish pail", on the other hand, was were everything 
else that wasn't wet or drippy, or smelly, or wasn't food, 
went. And... it was the "rubbish men" who came and collected 
the rubbish every Tuesday and Friday.

My wife, and her parents, all grew up in northern NJ. They
still have difficulty deciding what items go in which pails.
(Yes, I've kept the two-pail tradition alive in my house).

But... I put the "garbage" out for the "trash men" to collect.



Another one with no flashy sign-off.
