I'm not at work AND it wasn't raining, which has been a rare combination this fall. We seem to have a lot of rainy weekends....
Anyway, I used the opportunity to start my annual December purge of junk in my house and garage. I broke down all the Amazon boxes for recycling, then I went around my garage and just tossed things that I don't use, don't need and are just taking up space. Like say the bin from the Ram dash that I replaced with the 2nd glovebox door, or the bits of plastic that I took off the fenders to replace with mud flaps. Like the worn out door mat that I replaced in October and the old one doesn't fit in the regular trash bin. That sort of thing.
This all goes into the bed of the truck over the holidays and the tonneau keeps it dry. I expect another round after Christmas before I take it all down to the transfer station. We don't actually go to a dump in King County, instead we go to an intermediate "transfer station". They take hazardous waste (so I'll bring some fluorescent bulbs that burned out six months ago), they take recycling, metal waste, yard waste, etc. $24.25 minimum charge gives you 320 pounds, so it's not worth going until you have at least that. $144.34 a ton.
Oh, and DO NOT arrive with an unsecured load. We had a terrible incident fifteen years ago on I405 where a woman was horribly injured from a piece of plywood flying off a truck and going through her windshield, so King County passed "Maria's Law" that made penalties much harsher. If your load falls out and injures someone, it's a misdemeanor with up to $5000 fine and a year in jail. The county police are known to just sit on the road into the transfer station and hand out $228 tickets for unsecured loads. Even if they aren't there, then if the cashier thinks your load isn't secure enough you get a
$25 extra charge.
