Default Thinking about John Herring...

....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. ;-)

Just like our good buddy Johnny Herring, my old Johnny has outlived its
usefulness. 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. 😀

Your trash guys won't haul that stuff away? 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.

Hee, hee!

You're probably lying about your damn toilet!

We can haul up to 100 kilograms without charge but after that ...they go by the ton or part of. Our city trash dump won't take construction trash unless it's small amounts tied up pretty with a nice bow...we have to haul it to a commercial dump where you are weighed coming and going, paying for the diff.

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.

I usually put stuff like that on the curb with a sign that says
"free". It's always gone by the next morning.
