"An Addison County trash service that relies on horsepower - literally - is expanding from Bristol to Middlebury.
"Twice a week, draft horses haul a cart as they clip-clop through the neighborhoods of Middlebury, while Patrick Palmer and his two employees toss garbage bags and recycling left at the curbside onto the cart.
"Garbage collection usually isn't a picture-worthy event. But this beast-of-burden service is a spectacle that draws children to the curbside to see the giant dappled Percherons, and passers-by to snap cellphone photos and video from their vehicles."
A recent article in the Burlington Free Press profiled this horse-drawn service in Bristol and Middlebury, Vermont.
