calzephyr | Out Darn Stuff!

Maybe I need to get out of the house more, but it was absolutely thrilling when the junk truck showed up and the guys took away our stuff with a smile. They recycle as much as possible and direct waste appropriately. I had all the broken stuff and donate stuff labelled and colour coded because sorting is the best path to landfill diversion. The truck came at the end of the pick-up window and in the meantime hubs found some more small cardboard boxes to recycle. Little cardboard boxes are such a bane of my existence because they're "just in case I have to send it back" items and they take up so much space.

We said goodbye to a broken Visions bird cage (they look good, but do not last--and I broke the doors off so it wouldn't be accidentally used), two still working humidifiers hubs used in the old office building, a broken UV lamp for the birds (Zoo Med--total piece of junk which I taped together), FOUR old HP toner cartridges to a printer we no longer have, a bag of batteries and small e-cycling, and a 6' retail display mirror which I snagged years ago because it seemed like a good idea. I tried giving away free on FB--but no one seemed to realize that it was so long, even though I put the dimensions right on the picture.

It just feels like a huge win and a great way to close off all the post-grad cleaning and recycling I set out to do back in May. Whew! On to the next thing...
