Comments: Apparently this one is a smaller 1:64-sized model of a larger dump truck PlayArt also produced in a 6" size. Not sure on a date here. The model itself is, like the rest of the PlayArts shown here, very sturdy. The truck, bed, and tailgate are all solid metal giving it a very heavy feel. However, the wheels seem slightly too small as though they almost don't touch the ground below the chassis of the truck.
I purchased this at a flea market in New York state years ago. I remember wandering around and finding this truck, being impressed, and asking the seller how much he wanted. When he said $8, I promptly left. As luck would have it, I found a second version of the exact same truck at a different seller's booth at a far more reasonable $1.50. (As a general rule, I try not to pay more than $2-3 per vehicle, but I will break this rule for really special ones.)
Toronto's garbage strike stinks! Literally. Today they closed down a couple of these "temporary dump sites" because they were over capacity and opened up 3 more, one of which is in the middle of a residential area. From where I shot these photos, it STUNK, so I wouldn't be very happy either if I were those residents.

Theres tyres had been dumped near Lancashire cricket club. Rather than remove them the council (or police) have put stickers on.
From my office window on the second floor. They guys are trying to dig out and pull the truck out of the hole. The tractor is trying to push too lol.
Taken at the dump in Livermore, California. Tried to make good use of a not so fun time.

Found this old dump truck on some back roads near Robinson Township, PA. I like where it was sitting and the sun angle, so I shot.
I loved this photo Larry took of the statue of Washington outside of Independence Hall.
The look on Washington's face seems fitting as he stands with his white hat and cloak of snow.
The statue of George Washington standing in front of Independence Hall is located on the South side of the building on Chestnut between 5th and 6th Streets. The statue was designed by Joseph Alexis Bailly and installed in 1869.
