Everything shown was somebody's trash (except for the black trailer). Even the long concrete sections of thick concrete parking bumpers that form the parking lot base were somebody else's trash.

Almost everything is recycled

The local community brings me their "trash" because of the webpage that informs them to feel free to do so (Dump Here, for instance).

The walls and posts were donated trash items.

Compost Station made of recycled materials

Everything but the flag and paint was salvaged and repurposed trash.

All the wooden pallets which were donated here comprise the walls and flooring of the firewood stand. Even the firewood was somebody's trash and will save hundreds since I won't need to purchase the wood anymore!

First the furnace

A while back, Mom wanted a new furnace and asks me what we ought to do with the old one, keep it or ditch it?

I answer to keep it and tell her that I can use parts off the old furnace and that a metals scrapper will pick up the remains. She replies that she's going to get rid of it instead.

The next morning she again calls and again she asks whether or not I want the old furnace and the exact same outcome occurs with her ending the conversation by saying she's going to get rid of it anyway.

Later in the afternoon when the furnace is getting installed, the same question and outcome only this time I hang up on her for wasting the moments of life to answer her futile question.


However, at the last minute she has a change of mind and leaves the old furnace at my door, since she's already aware that one of my customers is a metals scrapper and has frequently responded promptly to my calls to pick up any excess metals that might accumulate around here.


What came of that old furnace?

I was able to salvage and use the metal for the door that houses mom's solar charger for the porch lights, saved a few dollars in hardware by keeping nuts, bolts, washers, screws, and even kept the $200.00 fan called a "squirrel cage" (I've already sold one of these in the past and they make GREAT cooling fans).

The rest of the Furnace disappeared a couple of days later when I called my scrapper customer to pick up the remains.


This item costs about $300.00. Thanks to somebody binging the lawn sweeper here, and after my having minimal repairs upon it, it has worked perfectly since 2015

Tow-behind rake from trash

The black metal fireworks stand was trash. It now holds up mom's various "solar" lights

The walkway is not finished (I'm waiting for more trash)

Recycled masonry

The cool rust-colored planks under the deck were donated here a couple of weeks ago. It was a fence that was tore down and now serves multiple purposes around the property. Is this trash not an improvement?

Wooden Porch Skirt from salvaged Fence

Even this trashy-looking table made of discarded pallets and other wooden pieces has served year after year since 2015. Made with Trash made possible by the community bothering to stop here instead of somewhere else.

Now it's the Washer


So the furnace deal was a few months back...

Now it's a Washer

Here we go again

The EXACT same record played out, only this time it has to do with the washer mom's replaced.

Yesterday she informs me she is replacing the washer and asks me if I want the old one, I reply, "yes" to wit she again rambles about something following along the lines of circular reasoning and resulting in her telling me that she's going to get rid of it and not give it to me.

Then this morning she again calls to ask me if I want the old washer. After my saying, "yes", it quickly becomes apparent that she's doing something weird so I became frustrated and hung up on her because there were 22,000 other things I would rather do with time than be asked and denied repetitively.


Mom makes the decision to follow through and the old washer is not donated here.
