Question: does oscar the grouch live in a recycling bin

Answer: No, Oscar the Grouch is a character on the television program Sesame Street. He has a green body, has no visible nose, and lives in a trash can. His favorite thing in life is trash, as evidenced by the song ``I Love Trash''. A running theme is his collection of seemingly useless items in his trash can. ``The Grouch'' aptly describes his misanthropic interaction with the other characters, but also refers to his species. His birthday, as noted by Sesame Workshop, is on June 1. The character is performed by Caroll Spinney, and has been performed by him since the show's first episode. Since 2015, Eric Jacobson is the understudy for the character.
