Carol had some larger trash items that she wanted to take to the dump, so she asked if we could use my truck to take them there. I absolutely love to go to the dump, so of course I said yes. What was most exciting about the whole prospect was that Carol lives in Baltimore County, not Baltimore City. That meant we could go to the Baltimore County dumping site in Cockeysville. It is an absolute paradise.
Instead of people scolding us for imaginary rules, they sent us right through. Instead of lifting all the trash over nine-foot high dumpster walls, we could just throw it out the back of the truck. They did ask us to put the metal in a separate pile, but the trash is thrown off a little ledge, then scraped along the ground with a bulldozer. It’s awesome.
I am still in hysterics over your title! HiLARious!!
I am so pleased that you finally had a dumping experience that didn’t burst the vein in your head. Did you scavenge any cools stuff, or would that be frowned upon?
“NO SCAVENGING!” said the sign…compliant folk did none…plus, it felt so much better to leave all the old stuff there, why would we want to load more on before we left?
My favorite sign, however, apparently directed souls to the graveyard for old kitchen appliances (e.g., refrigerators, dishwashers, washers and dryers) – it said (…wait for it….)
“WHITE TRASH”.
I tried not to take that too personally…being from Rosedale and all…
I’m glad you’re relieved.

Everything is better in Cockeysville.
Yea, well, frankly I’m surprised Rosedale hasn’t found a way to put an official dump somewhere off Route 40. For years, you know, we had that lovely incinerator that left black grit all over the hood of the car overnight so when you got up to go to work you wanted to stop at the car wash first. That’s been closed for years already – and I am genuinely surprised it has not been replaced by something alomng the order of a dump. It would fit the general atmosphere of our community, I think. Considering Cocekysville’s “pen name” is “Hunt Valley”, I would think you all are too classy to have a dump. But thanks for being there for a friend nonetheless! (Insert smile face here)
I, for one, look forward to the disappointment of future generations when they search the web for “best dump ever”.
It seems the future is now. Behold, you are already the 4th “Best Dump Ever“.
Hmmm I think I pissed Google off by linking to the results from the page. Maybe you should delete my comments. Maybe you should just do that as a matter of course.
And delete his swear, too. Gee, Lloyd, you kiss your mother with that mouth?
