    Seems that is a perpetual problem. Closest place I have found is about 40 miles one way in a city I rarely, if ever, have business in. And that company doesn't pay for it, they just said they would be willing to let me dump there. If the profit was there, it certainly seems like some of us could join forces in regional or sub-regional "hubs" to get this stuff moved (and kept out of landfills). With weight/volume being a key, on a small scale, most of us are S.O.L. as sellers, but if small operators were feeding a regional or sub-regional network of some kind, maybe that could work. As noted, though, equipping those facilities might be expensive. Just seems like so much material is out there and it is such a common and ongoing problem that there ought to be a solution of some kind.
