Speaking exercise

In my community the time of garbage disposal is from 6am to 8am but sometimes I wake up lately  so I can’t empty the garbage and I can’t do it in the evening. And there are cleaning grandmas and watched me and asked me ” What kind of garbage is yours?”. And I think that it’s so difficult for me and grandma told me ” yo can make it easy by pig” If a pig can eat it and it’s a wet garbage and if the pig won’t eat it it’s a dry garbage, if the pig died after eating it it’s dangerous garbage. And the grandma asked me ” Did you get it?”, ” I said yes, but I don’t know what’s my plastic bag have some egg shell, beef, chicken bone”
