20 Cubic Yards of My Life

Here's a photo (masked by the tree) of the 20 cubic yard dumpster that sat in front of my house for four days. A friend came over to house sit it while I went to work. The fun with debris boxes in an urban setting is that if it's empty or unattended, people will fill it. My buddy tells me a few people came by to trash pick, which is A-OK with me. Anyone was welcome to take from it, since I didn't want the stuff. But, they were *not* welcome to put things in, since I would get the extra charge if they put in toxic waste or overfilled the box.

It truly amazes me how much cruft there was in my house, and all the energy that had been required to deal with it, acquire it, sort it, and dispose of it. I'm glad it's gone, because I have no use for most of it and no desire to store it.

So ends another chapter in the great move. Hooray!
