Today was dump day, and it was pretty interesting, actually. The City of Minneapolis has some good programs for reusing and for properly recycling a lot of items. As homeowners who use the municipal garbage service, we're allotted a certain amount of "vouchers" per year to get rid of large garbage, furniture, building materials, etc.
I accompanied K's employee to the waste station designated for building material waste. Either K or I had to be with, since we are the taxpayers/owners of the property. We had a large Bagster filled in our yard-- with the old kitchen cupboards, drywall and other stuff from gutting the kitchen and the bathroom. It took us two trips/two vouchers, and we got it all taken care of. They have places at the station for different materials-- building materials, metal, furniture, mattresses, etc.
