I continue to clean out my house. Yesterday I started by going to the dump. I had a very trouble-free and delightful visit.
I’ve had some construction trash to get rid of for a long time. Some of it was lumber from my front porch project. Some of it was cement from a garden project gone wrong. Some of it was stuff I’ve stored in the basement from projects long ago.
It ended up filling the entire bed. I didn’t think it was that much.
The regular dump doesn’t take construction trash, so I called to find out who did. After some laughably stereotypical conversations with the Baltimore City bureaucratic machine, I found out that I could take my construction trash to the Northwest Transfer Station.
The Northwest Transfer Station is just a bigger version of the dump drop-off site I usually go to. What the person on the phone didn’t tell me was that I needed to pay a $20 cash fee to dump construction materials. D’oh! Fortunately (and uncharacteristically), I had cash. Whew!
The line moved quickly.
It was an interesting mix of commercial and private dumpers. The smell at the site was exotic and disturbing… like a car that had a strong air freshener in it, but also had bag of rotting groceries in it. It was exquisite.
I’m out twenty dollars, but more junk is gone. Woo hoo!
Would now be a good time to let you know the County takes lumber/yard waste…for free…for county residents like myself and Thurman…whom you could have called to gain access……..or would this not be a good time to bring that up?
Congratulations on the double dump and your support of Baltimore City’s never-ending revenue stream.
At least you love weird, stinky-smelling things, like that rotting plant, right? This was an adventure!
Way to go, Brad! You continue to inspire me!
Brad, Brad, Brad. I told you I could take you to the county dump with my truck! Well at least you now have a story?
