For Seriously!?!

Aaron and I picked up about 130 gallons of apples from our backyard on Saturday morning. Aaron actually raked most of the apples into piles while I picked up the strays. Then we were able to just shove the apples into buckets from the pile - much easier than the previously used methods. However, there were also waaayy more apples than we've had to deal with before.
This is our 96 gallon trash can. The only thing other than apples in here is one bag of trash, so basically all apples.
We also had 2 overflowing 13 gallon trash cans, one 5 gallon bucket and three 2 gallon buckets.

So the garbage was picked up today, but not without a little resistance from the garbage-men. They left us a notice on the trash can, stating that there is a weight limit to what can be picked up. So apparently 90-ish gallons of apples weighs too much. Which begs the question, "What will we do with this week's apples??" We already have 37+ gallons of overflow from last week...

Anyone want a bucket full of bug-infested, partially eaten and bruised apples??
