Seen at the late winter meet of the Keystone Region of the Studebaker Drivers Club, March 3-4-5, 2011 at the York Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania. These short dump trucks were used for home delivery of coal.

Our Auman dump truck meets the requirements to work in harsh, off-highway conditions, with a power output ranging from 270 to 440 hp.
The Bureau of Land Management, Sierra Front Field Office recently contracted with a company to clean a large (approximately two acre) illegal dump site located east of Silver Springs, Nevada. This site, which had the appearance of a small landfill became a popular spot for illegal dumping of trash. Full remediation and restoration of the site required a contractor with heavy equipment to remove larger trash items and mitigate potential hazardous materials on site. The cost of cleaning this dumpsite was approximately $66,000.
"Every year the BLM Carson City District Office receives hundreds of complaints from concerned public reporting trash sites on public lands," said Logan Briscoe, Supervisory Law Enforcement Officer. “When individuals cannot be held responsible for their illegal acts, the expense of cleaning up a site such as this one is often funded through the use of tax payer’s money. The BLM truly appreciates the dedication and devotion of community groups and individual volunteers who spend countless hours of their free time cleaning up public lands so others can experience use of their public lands free from unsightly trash."

This was possibly the beginning of the end for me. I'd been pushed into working four days a week at the garden centre, and the papers were taking some 20 hours a week.
Then I get a dumping. I always had a brilliant team of distributors, and to be fair, this was my only dumping in the whole time I did it. The teenager concerned did not last long!
But she managed to throw them over a barbed wire fence, and deep into a patch of nettles. I had to take a morning off work (and lose the pay) to deal with it, and got torn to shreds in the process. I was getting too tired to keep a sense of humour ...
To prepare for our new art studio, we demolished old sheds and took them to the local dump..
The Marin Resource Recovery Center is an indoor dump that’s about the size of three football fields. Built in 1987, it gives Marin County residents a clean, enclosed environment to dispose of solid waste.
Each month, the Resource Recovery Center processes nearly 3,000 tons of recyclables, according to the Marin Sanitary Service. They say the center may be the most sophisticated recycling facility in the country, with visitors from around the world coming to observe its state-of-the-art system.
This was a fun experience, with bulldozers zipping by across the pit, moving the debris we just dumped into a series of screens, conveyors, blowers, magnets, and hand-sorting separates dirt, sand, metal, wood, concrete, paper, and other materials for recovery.
Overall, everything went smooth as silk, and only took about half a day for the demolition and half a day for the dump run.
It was a great feeling to finally get rid of some of these old art debris to make room for the new sheds. Truly liberating!

And finally an acquatic example, seen at Upwell, in ...well, where exactly? In my Michelin road atlas the boundary between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk seems to run through here, presumably along the river, but the scale is too small to tell. To the Ordnance Survey then, but I'm blowed if I can see any boundary marked here ...although it could be lost in the jumble of lanes, paths, field and Euro Constituancy boundaries marked hereabouts and difficult for these old eyes of mine to see. Into which volume of Pevsner did the village fall? Ah-ha, both. The Cambridgeshire edition avers that the left bank of this, the old bed of the River Nene, falls within that county. Readers are directed to the Norfolk volume for a description of those architectural curiosities occurring on the right bank, including the church of St Peter, in the distance there.
As for the Suzi Leigh ...would the name have been signwritten, or were some kind of transers or adhesive letters used? I know nothing of these matters. I wonder who Suzi was. Must have been quite a gal for someone to name his boat after her.
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.

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 :-(
When I was a kid, I remember the dump being a large, outdoor field of garbage. Now it's been moved to an indoor facility. Progress!
I believe this is a MÁV ABbmot type 5-axle DMU railcar numbered A 168 which has been dumped for some considerable time at the rear of Szolnok Works. Sunday 5th July 2015
Fortunately a few vehicles remain in better condition than this example including one numbered 610 restored to its former glory by MÁV-Nosztalgia.
Another metal car from the Hallmark Collection. Because I remember my own pedal car when I was a child, I enjoy looking at these ornaments on my tree.
Dumping ballast at Fernley using the GREX "Slot Machine" ballast train. Each segment consists of eleven cars over twelve trucks, with continuous connections between the cars. The ends of the cars are removable to form a bridge between cars, allowing the loader to simply roll along the bed of the cars.
I've been working on this idea since Monday (didn't have much stamping time), but it fits perfectly with Shari's blog about transportation today.
I silver embossed the screen shadow to make the truck's grill. I used a piece of acetate for the window and dabbed it in a little white Staz-On. The "dumping" truck part is stamped with the woodgrain background, with panels of screen shadow. The wheels are clear embossed with the checkerboard stamp from the Mix & Match set (not sure if it shows). TFL!

Madeleine loves to dump things. We've got some of those Simple Machines parts, which we used to make the dumping action.

Saw this shop in Gouda, the cheese town. Took it on the iPhone as I was waiting on the lights. I thought the name Dump was funny until I saw the word below. Zoom in to see.
What do you suppose Schietsport might mean in Dutch? Golf, aqua-aerobics, darts?
Maybe we'll never know...
Update from a Dutch contact, Reinier Meenhorst:
'I am from Holland and I can tell you "schietsport" means "shooting sports" and the word "dump" is derived from "army dump" and has become the Dutch word for an army surplus outlet. '
Thanks Reiner.
So now you know.
As the shadows were rather long, I came across another no dumping storm sewer cover with more than a textual message.

Not by a selfish owner but by an organization which collects millions of $ annually to supposedly help animals. Not this one, however. Why? Because this cat tested positive for feline leukemia and this is why the ASPCA (yep) returned him to city pound.... you can imagine what his prospects are there.
Feline leukemia (FELV) is not a death sentence. It is contagious but ASPCA has the $$, facilities, vets and leverage to keep its promise to Benny, to fulfill its commitment. All small rescue organizations I know would never return a cat once it is out of the pound. Granted, the animals are tested and rescue often falls through due to the felv status, but once the cat is out of the shelter - it stays out of the shelter.
UPDATE - Benny was rescued by Empty Cages Collective.
