trash

With Christmas this Sunday, you might be wondering when City of Grand Rapids offices are closed and what services will be running.

Police are trying to find out who was responsible for dumping it all there, and local residents are disgusted by the sight - and smell.

Simon Gordon saw a woman littering at a park near his neighborhood and his response is absolute perfection. Source: Facebook Maybe it’s not the BEST way to get someone to stop littering, but it’s also not the worst, right? If nothing else, she’ll probably think twice before she litters again...

Waste came from as far away as Oregon.

With so much balloon debris found along the lakeshore, it's a more serious problem than most of us realize.

Are you good at trash talking? I love a good trash talk, Free Beer is the best at it...this man, he may be the worst to ever trash talk.

Have you ever been driving down the road and thought, " Hey this would be a good spot to drop off a truck full of garbage?" Of course not, these idiots do.

Today on Segment 16, the guys check out a story about a confused woman who is sick and tired of all the balloon trash she's finding on Michigan beaches. She uses the phrase "fake news" and everything, so you know this is a real crisis.

Grand Rapids has made recycling easier for Grand Rapids residents! If you still sort your recyclables, you're able to get a new cart for them, where you can just put everything in one container! It's called Single Stream Recycling, and it's available for current city recyclers.

Pretty much every day, my shift starts with the same set of prep steps to make the GRD studio habitable for a few hours. From the time the Free Beer and Hot Wings show is over, to the time I come in, things can go south pretty quickly. Not that Janna is to blame for any of it.

No one likes being awoken in the morning to the sound of a loud garbage truck rolling down the street. But faced with the option of not having your garbage being picked up at all, most would deal with it and move on.

There have been stories where a person was accidentally dumped into the back of a garbage truck and crushed inside it, which is always an unfortunate story. This guy, though, was dumped into the back of a garbage truck because he was going through a dumpster, but was lucky enough to not be crushed.
