....earlier this morning, just after I turned off of Route 4 South and
onto Swee****er Road, which leads to the Calvert County dump/landfill. We just finished "remodeling" a half bath and replaced a pedestal sink and a toilet. The handyman we hired wanted the sink, so we loaded the old toilet and various bits of old wood trim, packing materials, and a pallet into my SUV. As I was pushing the old and now useless toilet out into the designated area at the dump, I thought about John Herring and how the old white racists are dying out, just like the old toilet. A better day is coming for 'Merica. ![]() |

I don't think I'd but either The Johnny or an old toilet in my Highlander.
That's what I have my Mission utility trailer for. ;-) |

So I took it apart, put it in a body bag, and took it to the dump. The body bag of course was a large contractors green trash bag. That probably is what our good buddy Johnny's wife will do with him. 😀 -- Sent from my iPhone 6+ |

They will take anything we put on the curb. If the regular pickup guys can't handle it (electronics or white goods), they tag it and a special pickup is automatically scheduled. In real life, things like metal can appliances will not last long enough for the trash guy to see it. The scrappers take them. We don't have a municipal trash guy. There's a handy county run trash collection spot about five miles from here, and I take the household trash there once a week. It doesn't accept construction trash or, in particular, old toilets. It's a dumpster place. The big dump/landfill is about five miles south of St. Leonard off Route 4. We used to have a private trash company come by, and it started out at $12 a week, but over 10 years or so it went up to $96 a month, at which point I said "**** it" and decided to take our dry trash up to the local dumpster facility, which is "free" to county residents. When I was a kid I'd help my dad make the weekly Saturday morning run to the "dump". There were always a small group of "dump pickers" waiting for you to toss your stuff out so they could sort through it. Our town has a modern day version of that. It has the normal compactors and recycle areas but it also has a large space for putting stuff that you don't want but still has a useful life. People are encouraged to leave items for others to "shop" for. It's known as the "Duxbury Mall" and is very popular, especially among young people looking to furnish an apartment or their first house. |

We can take stuff to the dump, but we're not allowed to take *anything* from what has been dumped. There is a worker there who keeps his eye out to make sure that doesn't happen. Don't know why that is. We can also have 'special pickups' - https://specialpickup.fairfaxcounty.gov/ They've just about taken away any need to go to the dump. -- Guns don't cause problems.

It's always gone by the next morning. |
