Residential Trash Cans of the 50's & 60's

[highjinx]

Does anyone recall your trash cans having the letters G & R painted on them.
The G stood for Garbage and the R stood for Rubbish.
That garbage was picked up a every week, and rubbish every other week.
That Rubbish was considered to be all metals and glass; and Garbage was consider all other materials.
That garbage went to the city incinerators, and rubbish went to be reused [recycle these days].
On rubbish days, anything you had that was metal or glass could be placed out for them to collect.
And how about those heavy wire burning baskets we had in the alley to do away with paper materials.
