Bureau of Sanitation Open House

Someone has been looking forward to the Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation Open House for a veyr long time, ever since he saw a kid in the playground with a toy Los Angeles recycle bin. It did not disappoint, and Jack also had a reasonably good time. Jack received his own recycle bin, which he has been playing with extensively since, after placing an item in the correct bin. Jack's item was some fake grass. He placed it in the green bin; he later referred to it as a "plastic mat" and explained that he put it in the green bin because it was green. This was clearly incorrect reasoning (if he thought it was plastic and not meant to represent grass, it should have gone to the blue bin), but I guess this is one of those cases where it is getting the right answer that matters (and I suspect they might have been allowed multiple tries if necessary). Jack also pointed out that the guy took the grass out of the bin, which seemed a little strange. Father and son got to ride in the new little trash trucks that are used to collect trash in Venice and the Hollywood Hills, where, as Jack explained, the streets are small.
