Getting Rid of the Trash

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If our at ude to garbage is that it's "someone else's problem", even though we created it by consuming, then the world is doomed.

That is not aimed at anyone in particular.

I will say no more.

Shoes, clothes, Christmas boxes, gift boxes, housewares, etc. Plus, I got a bunch of sample products and items to write about, etc. The FedEx guy said, "Uhh... what's with all the packages? I come here everyday."

I drive by your street on the way to the gym...I noticed that your garage door looked like it has been bulging a little!

I'm glad I'm not the only one to glance at the Ellis Abode when I drive down that way.

I'm of the belief that if I want to pay someone to make it their problem, then I can.

Thanks, I'll keep it mind for next time. I looked and it's not that expensive.

Sure you can, and it's a lot better than dumping it in one of the many random places advocated by others in this thread. I was objecting to the dumping, not getting rid of the waste "legitimately" by paying someone to take it away.

As I said, I wasn't having a go at anyone in particular. I was commenting on all the dumping advocated in the thread, which is basically a way of saying "my waste is not my problem" and forcing some other poor sod to deal with it. The secondary meaning of my comment was that we, as individuals and societies, have to start to take our waste more seriously and not produce so much of it.

Wasn't trying to pick a fight and I won't say any more... it's just one of my things.

More and more of these are springing up, and it means that a lot more stuff gets reused, recycled or given to charity.

WTF are you talking about? Quit being a puss.

Look, get a truck... load that up and go to the local elementary school and dump that in the dumpster... perfectly legal.... I do that all the time...

A lot of the schools have huge recycling bins that they get money for when it's picked up.

Although, I think they only take paper products.
