By asking people to PAY to dump, they're encouraging people to take their stuff out into the wilderness to dump it. That's just plain stooopid.

Here in Pahrump, there's no charge for residents to take stuff to the dump, yet there are still a lot of people who are too lazy, or don't want to spend the gas money to go to the dump, so they dump it in the desert. It really sucks when I'm way out in the middle of nowhere, riding my horse and enjoying nature, and I come upon a truckload of someone's ignorantly discarded furniture, appliances, car parts, trash, etc. Makes me wanna leave THEM out in the desert!
Here on the island where I live, it costs $300+/tonne to dump. When I take my stuff off island (to the same place it ends up when I dump it here) it costs me $85/tonne. They charge to drop off recycling now too :wall:

Technically it is illegal for me to take the garbage out of county (off island) to dump it, but I talked to the mainland dump and they said they are aware of our dump situation and the higher authorities are OK with it.

Gotta love the beuracracy :fruit: :fruit: :fruit:

I had contemplated using my biscuit cutter to join the bigger pieces together, but that means extra cutting, setting up, gluing, making sure it lays flat bla bla bla, so sod it, it gets dumped.

Then it isn't garbage until on mainland you decide you actually do want to get rid of those items that you have such fond memories of.

My other hobby is looking for and photographing snakes and other reptiles. They like to use these trash piles as hiding places, making it easier for me to find them. I'm always thrilled to find trash piles in "snakey" places. One man's trash, another man's treasure....

More or less. We pay an annual fee for the city to pick up the regular garbage on a weekly basis. That includes the occasional extra lot as Patrick mentioned. There are limitations to frequency, quantity, size and the kind of materials. And we spell "niks" :cowboy:

Can you donate the wood to a youth group or local school woodshop? I cut my pieces into small pieces and mix it in with the trash. You could start a compost pile.

Harley. You're a fraud!

Making your workshop clean by dumping stuff outside is cheating. I am demoting you to 3 star Harley tidiness.
