'Rising From Ruin': Reefer madness hits Mississippi--Dealing with Funky Fridges
MSNBC.com ^ | 10/31/2005 | Karl Huus

KILN, Miss. -- If you follow the flow of dump trucks out of Waveland, chances are good that you’ll 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.

I think that, um, evolution disproves the need for the WOD, because Harriet Miers and Terri Schiavo said so.

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.

the best thing to do with them, is drain the freon, and make a REEF out of them. 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!

I don't wear my asbestos ones unless I'm venturing into a Harry Potter thread . . . but I could put 'em in the dryer for a few minutes!

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.
