I took this picture on (yes, you guessed it) a rainy day while waiting for household hazardous waste to be unloaded from the trunk of my car.
I love the bright display of fun things Metro workers have assembled. And I love even more that my tax dollars go toward funding a service like this. Cleaning out a 72-year-old house comes with a lot of household hazardous waste. (From the future, I can tell you that it took six trips to clear it all.) I appreciate that I have a place to bring so many things that would otherwise end up in the garbage.
There is a 35-gallon per day limit. I can attest that the trunk of a Honda Civic will fit less than 35-gallons. The signage at the transfer station is great, and when you pull into the covered area, workers remove and sort everything as you sit in your car.
And when it’s time to leave, there are no fees to pay. Good government at work.
