A Q400 FLT ATTENDANT IS EXTREMELY FATIGUED AFTER FIVE LONG DAYS OF FLYING AND DURING A TURB EVENT FAILS TO SECURE A TRASH CONTAINER. THE CONTAINER CAME LOOSE ON LNDG.

Narrative

TURB AND FATIGUE. WHEN BEGINNING LAST FINAL TRASH PICK-UP AFTER LNDG PREPARATION PA (10000 FT CHIME WAS GIVEN; BUT NOT YET FINAL); I BEGAN IN THE BACK OF THE ACFT; WORKING MY WAY FORWARD TO FRONT OF CABIN. AT ABOUT ROW 16; MODERATE TO SEVERE TURB BEGAN AND WORSENED AS I MOVED FORWARD. THERE WAS AN FAA INSPECTOR IN ROW 9 (I BELIEVE). I STOPPED AT HIS SEAT TO WAIT IT OUT A LITTLE; I THINK. I DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I WAS -- SOMEWHERE MID CABIN -- AND TOLD PAX I WOULD BE BACK IF I COULD. (CAPT HAD WARNED US OF UPCOMING TURB AND SO WE HAD MOST OF CABIN CLEANED UP ALREADY). I COULD NOT MAKE IT BACK; AND BARELY MADE IT TO MY JUMP. I DID BRACE MYSELF AGAINST WALL AND DISPOSED OF TRASH BAG I HAD IN HAND. I DID NOT GET THE BUTTERFLY LATCHES ALL THE WAY DOWN. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING INTO MY JUMPSEAT. I GOT BUCKLED UP AND MADE A PA TO STOW ANY TRASH I DID NOT GET; SO IT WOULD NOT FLY AROUND; AND THAT I WOULD CLEAN UP AFTER DEPLANING. ON TAXI; THE TRASH CAN CAME FORWARD AND STRUCK OPPOSITE WALL; BUT STAYED THERE. NOT TOO HARD; BUT I HEARD IT. I WAS ABLE TO TURN AROUND STILL IN JUMPSEAT AND STILL BUCKLED UP; AND RE-STOW AND SECURE THE CART! I WAS EXTREMELY TIRED; I HAD AN AVAILABLE DAY AFTER FLYING 4 DAYS AND WAS ASSIGNED A LONG DAY TRIP ON 5TH AVAILABLE DAY. THE LAST DAY OF THE 4 DAY TRIP (YESTERDAY) WAS 6 LEGS WITH NO BREAKS -- OVER 12 HRS. THIS TRIP WAS 5 LEGS AND IT WAS TOWARD THE END. HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A COLD FOR WKS AS WELL. NOT ON TOP OF MY GAME. (THE TIMES IN THIS RPT ARE APPROX). LET CREW SCHEDULING KNOW YOU ARE FATIGUED; DON'T FLY TIRED AND NOT WELL; AND TAKE TIME TO DOUBLECHK BUTTERFLIES EVERY TIME!
