Discovered this old bottle dump in the corner of my property the other day. At first I was excited, hoping that perhaps it was an old "cowboy camp." Instead, it appears that somebody tossed a bag of trash out here, probably back in the 1960s. The identifiable pieces included a broken amber glass Purex bleach bottle and a Hills Brothers coffee tin (top right in the photo -- I carefully picked up the can and the lettering is faintly visible on the buried side). I left everything in place except for a couple of small glass bottles that were intact. I brought them back to the house to wash so I could look at them more closely. One appears to be a medicine bottle, perhaps tincture of merthiolate or cough syrup, and one is a spice or seasoning bottle. The bottles have plastic screw caps, which is why I suspect this dump dates from the 1960s rather than earlier. I will return the little glass bottles to the site so that perhaps somebody else, another fifty years down the line, can have the same thrill of discovery.
I will go back to poke around a little more, because you never know. But I plan to leave everything as undisturbed as possible. I would like to find an indentifiable Hills Brothers coffee can, because the Bureau of Land Management has published a detailed dating guide for Hills Brothers Coffee cans, which are commonly found in old bottle dumps.

My cute little blonde haired, blue eyed nephew turns 1 and wanted dump trucks, so Aunt Stacey is giving him dump trucks!

We found this abandoned Euclid dump truck on the north side of the Hwy 90 ramp and the junction of Anderson Loop (1604) and 90 - it still seems to be in pretty good shape, so I surmise relatively recent abandonment. It is sitting isolated in a large unfenced field, adjacent to a housing subdivision.
The glass, tires, hoses, etc. are all still in good shape - I wonder why it is abandoned?

Parked after dumping a load of asphalt for the final coat at Cedar Grove Station in Eagan, MN.
As the shadows were rather long, I came across another no dumping storm sewer cover with more than a textual message.

I found this as I was walking back to my car after a fizzled sunset along the Hudson River. Trying to balance myself on a few small slippery rocks in Converses is no easy task, but I managed to do it without going for a dip. I wish I could have dragged it to shore and gotten it out of the water, but the tide was going out and the water was freezing cold :-(
No dumping! Drains to waterways
