We're lucky here also. Huge trash barrel, probably the same size as yours, and a
recycle barrel that's about as big. Paper, cans, bottles, and plastic all go into the
same recycle container. Each are picked up weekly. Brush is picked up weekly also.
Must be smaller than 6" diameter, which is pretty damn big! And the bundles are not
supposed to be more than six feet long. Have to admit I'm very satisfied with the
trash removal in this county.

Lee county is pretty good too. We provide our own cans for trash but
they are looking at the 65 gallon Totes.
The trash guys take anything we set out there although the scrappers
will snatch anything metal, including white goods.
When I remodeled the bathroom, they took about half a ton of old tile,
stucco, drywall, wood and whatever from the demolition.
We already have the 65 gallon Tote for the single stream recycle.
I think they burn everything but the metal and glass tho. They do ship
a token amount of paper and plastic but I bet it isn't 10%. It is all
PR. Environmentally, burning it in our high tech incinerator has to be
better than trucking it 1000 miles or more to a recycle plant.
I judge that by asking, how much is scrap paper/plastic worth at a
local scrap dealer and the answer is zero.

I have no problems with the horticulture guys either. They say
anything less than 50 pounds but they took a 100# tree stump I wanted
a few weeks ago. It was too close to the curb ;-)

After Charlie they sent around claw trucks and took everything, no
matter how it was cut up. I filled up a whole 40' trailer and a bit
more.

We get five special pickups a year. That can include a whole tree or whatever. They
use the big claw trucks for that.

Thank god we live in civilized places where we are not expected to carry
our own garbage to the dump.

We can also take it to the dump, but have to pay a fee to do so. If the load is more
than four or five bags, the truck gets weighed and the charge is by the pound.


The last time I went out to the dump, they had dumpsters outside the
fence you could use for free. I suppose they think that is better than
having to pick it up on the side of the road.


Not here. But, I can't recall seeing trash dumped alongside the road on the way to
the dump. Like I say, if it's just a few bags, it's free.


That is what the dumpsters are for.
In the places in the county with dirt roads they set dumpsters on the
hard road for the people living down there because the trash trucks
won't drive on dirt.

... and it becomes fact

Rachel Mad Cow did a show on MSNBC tonight and a lot of it was
perfectly true. Lead is there, it is bad, it came from the pipes and
the pipes should have been replaced 50 years ago when Flint was
rolling in auto money.
It is true that they were damaged because the Flint water district did
not add the SAME corrosion inhibitors that Detroit uses.

Where the lies start is when they start laying blame.
#1 it was not the state that decided to switch from Detroit water to
the Flint River
The fact is the Detroit water district terminated their contract with
Flint in retaliation for Genesee County building a competing pipeline.
#2 It was not the state that decided to go with the Genesee county
water system, (something they completely ignored) it was the city
council and Rachel admitted it was a 7-1 vote.

The unanswered question was, WHO decided not to add the corrosion
inhibitor that Detroit uses? It certainly wasn't money since that
would only be about $100 a day for the whole city. That pretty much
had to be the Flint water district manager or his staff.
Why wasn't there anyone in the water district who knew that water
without the corrosion inhibitor would cause this problem?

I have posted the water reports from Flint and Detroit here already
and there is not any significant difference in pH or even the salt
they are talking about (~4ppm)

They did say there were failures at every level of government, right
before they said it was all the governor's fault. I bet if Grandholm
was still there they would have found a way to blame it on Bush.

I assume they now want the federal government to spend the billions to
replace all of that pipe. Are we going to do it in every other city
that used lead pipe?
I guess a $1000 surtax on everyone's 1040 would cover it.
I'll pretend to be Harry...

"I don't care. It's the Republican Governor's fault. He probably put
in the lead
pipes to begin with, and was using the inhibitor money to pay off the
Flint water
department folks to keep their mouths shut."

Ban idiots, not guns!

If you really want to fake a Harry, blame it on Cheeny or Bush

And insert Palin some way - any way - it doesn't matter.

You put 'insert' and 'Palin' in the same sentence. Now Harry will be getting all
hornified.

No doubt.

They come in sets of 100 and hang on a doorknob or hook so they're
easy to rip off.
Because they're made to drop newspapers in, one side of the top

But...are they biodegradable? Otherwise you're just part of the

What's your method to pick up dog **** and dispose of it. As much

If y'all don't know how to perform that simple task by now Stinky,
y'all shouldn't own a dog.


Perhaps you have a better way. Don't be testy now. We're just trying
to engage you in a civilized manner.


That's where the problem starts...

Your send key must be sticking. We heard you the first time.


His Playbook has no keys. He is just incapable of using it properly.
