cottonmather0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If it's that close to my house, then I guess I have no choice. It sure beats driving down to South Main to get rid of old fertilizer like I did this time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Sounds like a great weekend to do those coolant flushes I've been putting off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintCyr Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Is there anyone around my area (11th/12th and Yale) that would like to get/has a truck/trailer and hit a few/bunch of households? I have several jugs of oil and would be willing to help run around and load up stuff from others around the neighborhood. Would be a great way to meet the neighborfolk and clean up things safely.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arivechi Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 thanks for posting this event here! I'm now free of a bag of batteries and a group of partially empty paint cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samiamj Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I couldn't attend because of a field trip. Was it successful? Did they collect a lot of stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
