During that vaguely hellish snowstorm right before Christmas, the City of Seattle may or may not have missed garbage pickup a few times at your house. You will recall a certain stench. If they missed your house two times or more during those weeks, the city has announced they will be sending you a check for $5 to make up for it! Man, $5. That's a whole two meals at Dick's, Seattle. Of course, $5 can also buy you a neighborhood kid willing to clean out the insides of your putrid, slimy garbage can. It's your call what you'll do with this unexpected bounty.

Snow-crusted trash bins are overflowing all over Seattle, thanks to missed garbage collections last week. Garbage pick-up should resume today; if you're unwilling to wait your turn or for some reason the trucks skip your house over the next five days, the City of Seattle would like you to know that you can drop off trash yourself for free at the nearest Recycling and Disposal station until January 1st. The two stations located in Seattle proper are in Wallingford, on North 34th Street and in SoDo, on 5th Avenue South.
