You can see the trascript here. I don’t know if the video is posted anywhere. The video segment ran in the afternoon on Wednesday, and a brief version ran that evening.

My wife gave chase to a blue recycling bin today….

Cathy tells me she was sitting on our couch when she heard our neighbors freshly-emptied recycling bin taking itself for a drive down the street in front of our house today. The wind propelled the wheeled bin onto the hill on Harrington Place, through the intersection with NE 23rd, down the next block, and across NE 23rd Place before it came to rest against another curb.
Cathy retrieved the bin and brought it back to our neighbors house.
It’s probably a good idea to take an indelible pen and write your address on these new bins. Also, we’ll have to remind waste management to leave them parked in secure locations after they’ve been emptied.
