How do you throw away a garbage can?!

Okay, this might be the most random post ever made but it's something that is blowing my mind. I have this old broken garbage can that I want to throw away. It's so broken there are 3 holes in it one long slit and the handle is hanging off the side. Every garbage day I come home from work to see it left on my curb still!! One day I went ahead and left it upside down, nope, still there. Okay, fine, I spray painted GARBAGE on it...big white letters. Well what do you know? They probably think I was just labeling my belongings!! Still here! You dont see me spray painting JEEP on my s.u.v do you? My last resort, I turned the garbage can to the other side and spray painted "TAKE ME" on it. I know it sounds borderline inappropriate but it's all I could fit. Guess what....yup, I still own it. Do you have to leave a note I asked myself. So I wrote a note to the wonderful garbage men, apparently they dont read notes, they just dump whatever is in your can (EVEN IF IT'S AIR) and throw it back on your lawn. HAHA, I laugh out loud, this is becomming comical when I see this thing staring at me from the street when I get home every week. My last resort, I must get violent, NO, not with the garbagemen, with the garbage CAN...I step on it, i kick it, i jump on it, I crush the thing into a small enough piece that I can stick it in ANOTHER GARBAGE CAN....well that'll do it folks, it has been taken away from me, and unforunately the game is over...true story, but THE END!
