Been working on my round toit list. I asked R & J to make up a list of small projects I could do while we were here. You know, whenever I could get around to it. Groan!
Anyway today we move all the accumulated junk to the dump. What was a weekly chore for me and my Baja becomes an interesting project when you are city folk. First, get a pick up. Then, find the dump and figure out their fee system. You can be mixed trash, recyclables, yard trimmings and clean wood, covered or uncovered, all affecting your final fee. So, after truck rental (with milage), gas and fees, it’s around a hundred dollar day. Not counting lunch and beer for the crew.
Check out the Portland Metro site refuse fee system here.
The dump in Soldotna is free and two miles away, hence the weekly visit.
Looks like some real rain headed this way, so we’d better get at that dump run.
