Garbage truck woke me up this morning while I enjoyed my day off, and BAM! Short idea flew right into my head..
What do you think?
It does need lots of work, i know, but i just had to put the idea on the paper
INT. KITCHEN - MONDAY
Folded beer box folded behind the filled garbage can.
Clean bright kitchen. Sound of WATER RUNNING. Dozen of clean
and emptied glass bottles, cans and plastic bottles fill up
a counter top.
WOMAN, mid 20s, scrub off the labels of the bottles, and
washes out an empty beer bottle.
Woman pulls out a full garbage bag, and picks up empty
cardboard pizza boxes
Magnet on the refrigerator door says "RECYCLING! HELP THE
ENVIRONMENT!"
EXT. FRONT YARD - MONDAY
Two large trash bins in front of the house. One garbage and
one recycle bin.
Woman approaches the bins, opens the lids and throws in her
garbage bags.
INT. KITCHEN - TUESDAY
Some food gets brushed off from the dining plate into a
garbage can.
Woman goes through the same repetitive process of washing
off the bottles, and scrubbing off the labels.
EXT. FRONT YARD - TUESDAY
Woman exists her house, and with garbage and recycling bag
in each hand.
As she aproaches the garbage bins, she notices the third
bin.
Sticker reads
COMPOSTABLES
HELP TO SAVE OUR PLANET!
Woman unsurely opens up her garbage bag and digs out some
old left over food. A small cloud of fruit flies fly out of
the bag.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
Carefully, she transfers some mixed left over food from the
trash bag into new compostable bin.
Woman thows away the remaining trash with recycles, and
shuts the lids.
EXT FRONT YARD - WEDNESDAY
Woman opens the front door and as she holds a garbage bag,
and stops.
Additional two garbage bins were placed next to old ones.
Labels say "GREASED PAPER" and "FUITS AND VEGETABLES. NO
MEAT!". Both bins have additional label lower.
"PLEASE HELP US TO SAVE THE PLANET"
Woman, irritated, approaches the bins, opens up the bags,
and starts sorting out trash.
EXT. BACKYARD - THURSDAY
Woman steps outside her house with several little bags. Her
eyes widen in disbelief. She approaches the trash cans.
In front of her, EIGHT new recycling bins with different
tags: "HAZARDOUS", "BROWN GLASS", "COLORED PAPER", "WHITE
PAPER", "WOOD", "CLEAN PLASTIC"...
Each of them has the same sticker
THANK YOU FOR HELPING OUR SICK AND STRUGGLING PLANET
Woman looks over to her neighbor house. They have large
amount of recycling cans as well.
She signs, shakes her head, and puts down the bag, as she
rolls up her sleeves.
EXT BACKYARD - FRIDAY
SOUND OF A GARBAGE TRUCK BACKING UP.
GARBAGE MAN, in a filthy jump suit, a broken cigarette, and
headphones, walks pass the bins, as he flips each and every
one of them open.
He looks inside of them, smirks, and rolls his eyes.
Picks up each bin individually, and throws every recycle bin
and garbage bin into one large garbage can.
