Hi Dave,
RH> As I understand what the town puts out here, the recycling goes to a
RH> place where it's all dumped onto one big belt, then sorted as it goes
RH> down the line. I can see where lightweight plastic bags might get
RH> thrown into the air, then sucked into the sorter's teeth, stopping the
RH> line until they were detangled.
DD> I asked at the Lake Area Disposal headquarters yesterday when I took a
DD> couple bags of crushed soda cans in. I was told that they had tried
DD> the all-in-one and sort it method but the compartmented trucks and
DD> doing
DD> the sorting at the curbside worked best for them.
Different strokes............
DD> They are contracted to the city and part of their deal is to employ
DD> workers from various re-hab programs. Sort of a win-win for all. Bv)=
Looks good but I'm out of tomatoes at the moment and not going out for a
couple of days to get any. We're currently getting rain, some wind from
the latest hurricane, as of about half an hour ago, about half an inch
of rain. Storm still hadn't made 2nd landfall as of noon so I know we're
going to get more wet weather before it's all over.
Update Saturday morning. We've had about 2.6" of rain since it started
yesterday morning. Down to a drizzle now but was quite intense at times.
A tree blew down between our next door neighbor's house and the one next
to that--no damage to the houses but probably some to the car that was
on that side of the driveway. We had small branches and leaves come down
but nothing major. Steve lowered antennas, picked up loose stuff in the
yard, etc on Thursday, better to do it before the storm hits than have
it go flying all over the neighborhood.
... There cannot be a crisis today; my schedule is already full.
