D’Fence at D’Dump. HFF
I always get a laugh that our garbage is so well protected by a chain link fence with barbed wire at the top. We wouldn’t want anyone to remove any trash and lessen the load that the county trucks have to haul. I was at the dump on Memorial Day and every dumpster was full. The dump man came out of his teeny, tiny shed and pointed to an overflowing dumpster over my head. I told him I couldn’t fling my trash bags up that high. I think I mentioned something about not knowing this county had requirements of being able to play basketball to live here. The dump man told me to pull my car over and he would show me how to get it in. He heaved a big bag over his head and flung it right into the dumpster. I flung my bag and it hit the side of the dumpster. We had to scramble to get out of the way of its trajectory on the way down. I guess he could see I was a hopeless cause because he kindly tossed the rest of the bags up and in. What was my point ... oh, yeah, I asked why everything was so full. He was complaining that the county insists on keeping the dumps open 24/7, but the trucks that pick up the big dumpsters don’t work on Sunday’s or holidays. This causes quite a backlog of trash. Thus, my point that having a fence to keep people from removing trash seems silly. HFF
