When we were kids

  

…way back in the 1950s, there were two kinds of household refuse.  At our house we had trash cans and garbage pails.  There were two types of collectors.  There were big trash trucks, the ones with the big compression mechanism on the back, that took the dry trash, then there was a messier open bed truck that took the wet garbage.  We had trash men and garbage men.

 

So what was up with that?  Why was there a separation between trash and garbage?  Did they take them different places?  Why was it like it was then, but not like that now?  What changed?
