It's been awhile since we've been to the recycling center with our "random metals" collection. Our last trip {posted HERE} was on 10/10/12!!
During this [almost] 40 day waiting period, the metals have been hanging out near the side of our house. **Trav has mentioned before that our house looked like a junk yard because of the cans/bags in the front....well, if you looked at the side of the house, you might be wondering what hillbillies live here!!!
Today is the day we take everything in-- included in this "everything" is an old fire pit, shower rack, pool poles, a battery, lots of random metals (faucets/etc.), and pieces from fans. Of course, before we take them in, we needed to make sure we were only taking in metal!
After disassembling a few of these items...it was time to head to the C4C trailer to collect the cans (that have been sitting there for two weeks!)!!
We did have a few bags of cans at our house, but last week we took most of them to the trailer (to help with our bug situation).
Check out what we saw when we drove up to the trailer!!!! WOWZA! Our eyes popped out of their sockets--look at all of those cans!!!
We started to unload the trailer and sort/bag the cans correctly. **IMPORTANT NOTE:: unfortunately, we are still getting tuna/food/cat cans dropped off at our trailer. If we don't sort through each bag, we could be recycling things that are not allowed! We don't want to cause problems at the recycling center--so we take time to unload the entire trailer, going through all the bags, and reloading them.
Still sorting and bagging....
This trip to the recycling center was really quick--we unloaded the cans first.
Total pounds recycled for C4C as of 12/1: 2,371 pounds!!!!!
Come back tomorrow to see how much random metals we've turned in today!! <3
