The dump and the lost and the found — 6 Comments

  1. Ha,

    When I lived in Massachusetts we buried the garbage out back and burned the paper in an incinerator. I don’t recall ever having the trash picked up. Must be one of those new fangled things.

    Oh, and we had a shallow well in the basement, very handy when the power went out after a hurricane because with a handle on the pump pulley you could still pump water. The kitchen stove had two propane burners and two kerosene burners. Loved lighting those kerosene burners. There was also a fellow in town who farmed with horses. Lincoln really was much nicer before it became an expensive preserve of the well off 😉

  2. I can’t imagine not having trash pickup. Mainly because in a week we accumulate so much garbage I’d have to buy a truck to haul it, I wouldn’t be putting my stinking trash cans in my car…

  3. There is something fascinating about other people’s junk. That’s junk, not garbage. Garbage is wet and nasty and stinky – junk is that plate you got for Christmas that is hideous and kept for a few years out of guilt then secretly cast out. It is an old lawn chair that seated lots of human history and old bed springs on which children were conceived. Touch a broken, rusty bike at a dump and you can hear a child’s laughter.

  4. Um, are there any middle class or working poor in your neighborhood who are elderly or disabled? Are old ladies with canes who shouldn’t drive be expected to haul the stuff on a little red wagon?

    You could be a grump about it but maybe there’s an opportunity for charity here. If you have teenagers living in your house you can assign the job to them. This is why you had kids, right?
