Oh, believe me, it’s illegal here to dump trash, but with miles and miles of woods roads, it is a law impossible to enforce. Drive a mile or two down any dirt road and I guarantee that you will see TVs, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, mattresses and all manner of trash. Now, you pay for everything you take to the dump, get treated very rudely and some items they won’t take for any price, so what do the people do with it?

Try to give it away on Free Cycle....?
There was a collection going on for some charity last month and it sounded to me as if they were collecting the things that we can’t dispose of, electronics and a few other things, ink cartridges also I think.
I figured they either had a spot to sell the stuff, or parts of it.
When Bill managed the auto wrecking part of a salvage yard, his boss would send him home with things for me to figure out a use for, or how to tear them up for the special metals.
One of the projects was a box car full of large radio tubes, as I recall about the size or larger than a quart milk carton.
There was one spot of metal in them that he could sell for a profit, but in the 1960’s the price of silver [?] was not high enough to pay someone to hit it with a hammer, avoid the flying glass and cut out the wanted section.
Bill timed me and offered suggestions, for speed and safety and even as fast as I was then, there was no profit in them.
Never did know what he did with them.
So pick a charity and get someone to ramrod a collection of the stuff no one wants, LOL, if you can find a buyer.
