The first option basically means you can toss together a form FAST and
pour the rest for a step or similar.
I know the outfits around here normally mix VERY close to order, so you
want to plan ahead.


I just (had) placed and finished a 10yd job which I formed. The guy
ordered the load, and when they finished, they had only "clinkers" in the
barrel. They had ONE 2-gallon bucket-full left.

In that case, it's not worth their going to a washout yard. I told him
to just wash out in a low spot at the entrance to the barn. If I'd told
him "No", he'd have had to haul it back. That's the code here.

Local stuff varies. Some absolutely prohibit washing out on anywhere but
at a disposal site or the mix plant. Some will let them wash out
anywhere nobody cares.

Around here you can wash out pretty much anywhere, as long as you don't
dump it into any waterways. Go into the bigger towns and cities and they
pay attention.
