Thats it Percy. Some "dumps" won't even let you dispose of drywall there
anymore. Those that do often charge more $$


Hoo boy, don't know about where you're at, but dump rates here in Las Vegas
has skyrocketed. And all sorts of limitations, like no piece of concrete
bigger than a foot.

We did a remodel, and we were using our bill as a free pass to dump there.
If you get service, you can dump household stuff for free. There was a
snippy dyke there who took offense at some real or perceived injustice, and
wouldn't let me dump one day. Said I was making too many trips.

Off to the office I go. Told them the story. She said that the attendant
had the right to turn in an inquiry to management to red flag me because
some guys do commercial work, and then use their driver's licenses to dump
the refuse for free. They told me to go dump, and that they would send an
inspector to our house, and see if we were REALLY doing a remodel. They
came, they saw. After that, Bobbi was always very cordial. I imagine she
got chewed on a bit.

But, geez. Now you have to have a net, they just about crawl around inside
the bed of your truck looking for who knows what, and they had to add a
bigger sign saying what they will and won't take.

Reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant", and the dump closed on
Thanksgiving. They're open here in Vegas every day of the year, but in
Utah, dumping at a public dump on Sunday ain't gonna happen, pardner.
They're closed.
