Anybody go to the dump?

Know what kills me TheHoss?

On several occasions, as I am leaving the dump, I see someone coming in with a dryer, washer, what have you. If they came out of Nampa, they likely had to pass at least one scrap yard, if not 2-3 yards.

Drop it off in town, make a few bucks, or drive allll the way out to Pickle Butte, spend gas money AND pay for the "privilege" to dump metal. Granted they have actual trash as well, but you get what I am saying.



People are odd.

They might just not be aware like I wasn't until I started scrapping. I had never ever given a thought to the stuff I threw out or saw others throw out. I never knew there were places to take scrap for cash until we cleaned up my grammas house and my dad told me. Just lived my life and never gave it a thought so its possible they just dont' know. Or, they think there is a negative connotation attached to scrapping. When I think of how much stuff I threw out over the years............*sigh*

I also thought about dumps but figure they are probably fenced and probably a law about not taking stuff out.

I think a lot of people just don't realize how things work--when I first started going to the scrapyard I use now it was to drop off bales of rusty wire I never asked for money (didn't weigh much anyway but I thought I was being smart by going to a nearby place that would recycle the metal and not charge me anything for getting rid of it [it would have been a nightmare to put in the trash]).
