Garbage begins to pile up in the Simpsons' front yard, until one day Homer wakes up to find all the garbage gone. Homer thinks that he won until he learns that Marge wrote an apology letter to the sanitation commissioner, forging Homer's name.

After only a month in office, however, his department goes bankrupt due to the expenses of his "crazy promises". In order to pay his garbagemen, Homer allows other cities across the country to dump their garbage under Springfield for a price. The trash quickly begins to pile up and unearth itself, flooding garbage all over Springfield. Homer is horsewhipped and removed from his position.
