Thanks Les. I think those large containers are called trash 'bins' in the USA, but I'm not sure.

And- it just occurred to me-is that what folks meant when they sang "Skip to my Lou"?

Naw. Words can have more than one meaning. I figure in that song someone was telling someone else to skip to a girl [or a boy?] name Lou...

So enough of bins, and garbage pails and trash cans.. what is the correct response to that non-motorized form of transportation name?
