KILN, Miss. -- If you follow the flow of dump trucks out of Waveland, chances are good that youll end up at Hemphill-Eutaw Temporary Waste Site, one of four sites grappling with the seemingly endless piles of wreckage from Bay St. Louis and Waveland.
Refrigerators, it turns out, are more plentiful and more problematic than most types of waste, which is why there are 20 workers at this site alone dedicated to nothing but dealing with the dead ones left behind by Katrina. This group is from Onyx Environmental Emergency Response, a subcontractor to Ashbritt Environmental, which is overseeing waste removal for FEMA in this area.

For the past three or so years, I have toyed with the idea of combining Crevo, WOD, Abe Lincoln, Pat Buchanan etc et etc topics into one monsterous thread, guaranteed to get a dozen or so people banned. :0)

Naw....I'm actually obtuse to the meaning of the word "reefer"
...but, still, an interesting story about "green" disposal of refridgerators in good 'ole Mississippi.
And May Our FATHER in HEAVEN just bless those amazing workers doing a tremendously-back-breaking job of getting rid of them iceboxes.

I am from the coast of NC. they have sunk quite few ships, tires, and various other things offshore. It helps to have a GPS, to mark the spots. You ALWAYS catch fish!

If I thought it, I knew somebody else had already posted it. I just had to read down till I saw which direction it was gonna go.
Don't hit him (us) too hard. That question was just too delicious to leave alone.
