We still have the in-ground iron slop bucket in our backyard. It has been filled with dirt, but the neighbor who has worked in this neighborhood since the 1940s (he's black, so back in the day he couldn't live here, but as a kid he pulled the white ladies' groceries in his wagon for tips), said that the farmers would contract for the slop and pick it up on a regular schedule.
