Simply make every disposable package from chip containers to pop cans spherical with small flat bottom for the product to balance on. When you are done with the product and are ready to throw the wrapper away simply toss it into the street and it will eventually be blown or rolled into the lowest area
of town. From there the huge heap could be collected by garbagemen eliminating the need for them to go door to door very often. Or the lowest part of town could be designated as the city dump/recycling facility, almost eliminating the need for garbage men altogether.

Maybe we should work on gettin garbage round first before we start work on gabage. |
|
| |
But think of the amusment factor! they would be like multicolored tumbleweeds in various sizes blowing all over. People could bet on which would make it to the dump faster, and blissmiss could be their bookie a far more profitable ocupation than a garbage woman i would think. |
|
| |
Also we would still keep on a few garbagemen to come around every few weeks to pick up items that couldnt be made spherical, and a few more to run around with hockey sticks whacking the little balls out of gutters and closer to ther final destination. |

What, I can vote for my own ideas? That's why I haven't done so well here! |
|
| |
Actually I like this and it goes well with my rolling and bowling dung balls. |
|
| |
Two little problems that I can see. If you run over them they are no longer spherical. Spheres waste a lot of space in the interstices. |
|
| |
There should be emoticons in the halfbakery so that voter has to select what emotional state he/she is in when they annotate. That way you could get a more precise measure of how good or bad you idea is. I cant speak for anyone else but there is a direct corelation between my mood and my voting and my complaining habits. |

I have a simple solution to killer rabbits. I start mixin' my toasted sandwiches. |
|
| |
If you blind them, how're you going to hypnotise them with your truck headlights? They never thought that through. |

<ob on-topic>Perhaps instead of cylindrical garbage, we could make garbage with little running legs on the bottoms. Or suicidal garbage that'll throw itself onto the trash-heap.</ob on-topic> |

Garbage-herders, similar to shepherds, with garbage-herding dog breeds and cowboy mystique.
Or maybe this could be what the road cones do when there's no construction projects.
Could you imagine how different the Bible would be if garbage collectors operated as a business in biblical times?
"He was called the 'Good Garbageman' who gave his life for his garbage-flock." What new perspective that brings...
<tangent>While I'm thinking about it, consider the etymology of two words in all their glory: the cowboy vs. the shepherd. The job function is largely the same, yet the impression is totally different. Cowboys are portrayed as independent, aloof, and iconic, while shepherds have to 'care for the flock.'
If JC were born in America in the old west, would he be 'the Good Cowboy?'
If sheep became big in America during the old west, would shepherds carry six-guns, ride horses, rob banks, travel in gangs, and get drunk at the saloon?</tangent> |

Lesson #1. Half-baking is not precisely the same thing as brain farting. |
|
| |
(and fishbones can't be made into a sphere...) |
|

Emoticons on the Halfbakery?! (Horp)!! (my personal vomiting sound effect) |
|
| |
Actually, I think I stole that from the cartoonist Peter Bagge... |

hi snarfy, glad to have you back to be snarfy with me! |
|

I like i like i like it a lot. maybe round garbage cans as filled with garbage wouldn't be blown in the wind like round popcans. I can see pedestians letting cans roll into cars. and kids building ramps close to the bottem to jump the garbage. maybe a designated road just for them too. |

You dredged up a two-year-old idea just to say "wow"? |
|
| |
I am glad he did. This idea would work best in a town built on a mountain. Preferably with another town downhill. Perhaps Switzerland? |
|
| |
A town called Switzerland? |
|

that was my favourite book in primary school. |

I actually like this idea, but in a different form. Round garbage disposal devices. Create a trash compactor that compacts garbage into reusable plastic spheres. Place sphere in gutter. Rain water systems are modified to accept these spheres and collect them at a central point, there the plastic shells are removed, cleaned, and returned. |
|
| |
Variant:
Air or gravity driven mail-chute for garbage. |
|
| |
"plastic shells are removed, cleaned, and returned" I like trash collecting Ideas, anyway. Recycling is environmentally friendly and conservationistic, but work is work. We can't possibly profit from friendly, servy stuff; but, whole societies are in need of something to do with their ample water supplies and empty fields. They can go into wholesale washing and freshening of plastic trash containers. |
