I think I would need a drum liner for Ed. ;-)

Better than a large dumpster that has to be emptied weekly for my wife's
"pets".



Yeah, here we have to double bag it to throw in the trash can. I can easily get a dozen of the small
bags into one of the plastic Safeway bags.

What gets done with the horse manure after it's picked up?



I don't know and I don't care.

Waste Management, Inc. has recycling facilities everywhere. We don't
have to dedicate the dumpster to the horse crap and bedding exclusively.
We can dump regular, non-hazardous household trash in it as well. I've
thrown car parts, boat parts in it ... you name it and they take it. The
bulk is made up of the horse stuff though. Occasionally my wife asks me
to "compact" the dumpster using the front end bucket on the tractor, a
job I hate especially on windy days. I wear a mask.



Well it must just be going to a landfill somewhere. Shame they don't compost and sell it. Some
outfit in Maryland was doing that with sewage sludge. Seems like horse and cow manure would be very
usable. I know my grandfather would have loved it!
