True or False

The story I'm about to share has parts that are true and other parts that are not true. Try to determine which parts are true and which parts are false. Have fun.

Have you ever seen a garbage truck out between the hours of 10 pm and 4 am? I am betting your answer is no. I travel quite a bit and I'm in the garbage business. I've never seen a garbage truck out during those hours, nor do I allow our garbage trucks to operate during those hours. Now comes the question why?

Did you know that garbage has microbes in it to help with the natural decaying process; I thank God for microbes because our garbage wouldn't decay without them. Microbes, just like us, have a metabolism and their metabolism can have high and low peaks, just like us. Microbes metabolism is peaking during the hours of 10pm -4 am. This means that they are highly active during these hours. Consequently, the garbage trucks must remain stationary during these times so as not to agitate the microbes and create a metabolic energy release within the truck. A metabolic energy release is a situation where all the microbes come together and release their energy all at once, which produces an off gas called microbe methane. Microbe methane will have adverse impacts to our vehicles and the environment. The release of the microbe methane also causes pieces of garbage that are not fully enclosed in the truck to drop out of the truck onto the road. This creates another dangerous situation since the microbes in their highly energized state will eat the natural rubber in the tires to satisfy their thirst for food to sustain their metabolism. Consequently, if you are out driving your car between 10pm - 4am, call 1-800MICRO BUSTERS, give them your location, and they will come and clean the street so that it is safe for you to drive.
