To the Dump!  It was great! I got to sing the Dump song. I got to vent some frustration by chucking loads of unwanted crap on the pile. I got to see what other sorts of cool stuff other people have thrown out. All in all, a Perfect Day! |

Did you mostly dump or did you mostly glean?

Did you mostly dump or did you mostly glean? Alas, gleaning is forbidden. |

I'm trying to think of Kerouac's African village, or Spindrift's people gathering branches for firewood in Nepal. They'd build a HOUSE with that stuff, and more.
What saddens me, in general a frugal person and not one inclined to buy a lot of "stuff" (no, I don't have scads of money either, but many even poorer neighbours (by rich-world standards) by a fair bit of cheap crappy stuff that doesn't last) is how much computer junk I've produced. Not really my fault, as I only discard stuff that really doesn't work any more, but it is a pity that the stuff can't be repaired, or that it costs so much more than buying new or new to me.

Oooo ~~ the dump! *envy*
I used to work for a contractor, so got to go to the New Orleans dump fairly frequently. It was so Fellini-esque, with seagulls wheeling and screeching overhead, & it seemed as though there was always a low cloud cover on the days I visited.
FYI, the N.O. dump spells like spent coffee grounds.
