Why didn't you hire people to empty the trash? Would save your time, and another soul out there who is struggling to find a job get something.
Personally, I love the fella who empties our trash. He's become a close friend of ours, with his heavily accented "Hello friend!" message he greets us all with and everything!
Hiring anyone to do anything carries a (quite significant) cost both financially (not their hourly wages -- all the other fixed costs) and in management time, and in the cost of added risk (perhaps they steal employees' stuff, set the place on fire...). In that case it wasn't worth all those costs vs just emptying the @&^#& trash myself, which took all of 5 minutes at the end of each work day with the added bonus of giving me some brain-idle time to wind down.
The accountant and lawyer examples have the opposite characteristics : lots of risk from not hiring someone competent and experienced.
