Again with a Newbie {part2}

10/26/12 continued

Yesterday's post {HERE} was our first trip of the day to the recycling center (with an interruption and side stop to the Doctor's office for my orthotics). After that trip we headed back to the 
FAC church parking lot, where we keep our C4C trailer, to load up again. 

We had a NEW canning member waiting for us at the church--POPPIE!!! Trav's grandpa decided to join in the fun today! When we arrived, he had already started to unload the trailer but couldn't get far because he didn't have a key to the lock. **NOTE to self: I need to get some extra keys! Looks like the trailer is full--good thing Poppie showed up to help!
Trav and Poppie started to get to work while I took some pictures. Gotta love the extra hands!! 
Poppie even found several unopened cans!! Hidden treasures:) Well...that is until you open them, which is what Poppie did (since Trav's collection was ruined [read about it HERE] and he isn't collecting them anymore). Needless to say....liquid sprayed EVERYWHERE! 
I didn't catch the spray-- it was too fast and my iphone was too slow! LOL!

Since this was Poppie's first time to the recycling center, I let him ride up front in the truck. Plus, I wanted to get a pic of the two of them talking:
Unloading went faster since Poppie helped-- maybe he should come more often! LOL!  And you won't believe how many pounds we have NOW!!!!!
Total pounds recycled this trip: 62

Total pounds recycled for C4C as of 10/26: 1,996 pounds!!!!! Sooooo close to 2,000 lbs! 

Keep turning in your cans! And keep sending in your random metals too!!!
