Used magazines

[oosik]

I've often wondered why there isn't another trash bin involved in the collection program at my son's place - plastic. Garbage pick up is not mandatory out here where I live. For the first 25 years I had my own "service". Cut a deep long trench thru a bunn - deposit, crush, cover. It was just too difficult to have adequate cover material in the winter. That's why I went to curbside pickup.

Bunn = a large dirt mound. Left when the last outwash of ancient Lake Missoula tore thru this country. Vary in size - size of a large tractor to half a mile across at the base. Height varies from six feet to around 200 feet. I have a couple smaller ones here on the 80.

I can't understand why people are so afraid to have their name and address shared on magazine covers. My name, address and phone number have been in the phone book for everyone to see for over 50 years and never been a problem. Is our society that paranoid now that we have to keep everything in our lives secret?

50 years or so ago when I was in college, I lived in the Dorm. One evening near the end of the school year I put no longer needed material in the trash which had my name on it. Later, other residents of the dorm decided to trash the dorm, including setting off fire extinguishers. A couple days later I was visited by security because they found my name on the trash that had been spread around. Fortunately, I could prove that I was out of town when all this occured, but ever since then - - -

People remove their names on discarded magazines for the same reason they don't list it here in their TBN profile. Mass paranoia .........

As if listing your location is going to cause groups of "baddies" to descend upon your residence. Come on ...... like me, you are really not THAT important.

On the west coast, recycling of most paper is easily done. News print, magazines, telephone books. The trash collection services provide different bins for items that CAN be recycled. Same thing a the landfill. But then you have those who don't give a hoot and just dump their crap with out trying to separate the metal, papers, glass, plastics. I mean who cares about trash anyway. There's enough litter and garbage that makes its' way into the streets and bushes, creeks, streams, river and ocean.

So, is all that stuff the good, green-minded citizens put in the "recycle" bins actually recycled or does some of it just go in the landfill? There is close to zero market for many types of recycled plastic and some types can't be recycled at all. Now that we no longer have China to dump all this on, where do you think it goes?
I shake my head when I read some of Ultrarunner's posts...there are some very screwed up priorities on the west coast!

I have free AVG for secondary virus protection... they're always giving me notices of where I'm vulnerable. The last said "Everybody can see your ISP # and tell that you're in Farmington." Nice try, but that town is about 180 miles away.

I see that a lot too, but it's not consistent...sometimes it shows as a neighboring town (understandable), sometimes Portland, Me. (again understandable since Spectrum's regional data center is there), but sometimes NYC, Baltimore or other places far away. I get that it's probably got to do with IP address mapping, but why doesn't everyone think I'm in the same place?

That's the dirty secret... much of what is collected to be recycled has no where to go and ends up in land fill.

Huge plastic recycle yards have gone up in flames filled to the gills.

The CRV beverage containers have fee redemption sites as 90% have closed.

Recycling + OSHA + EPA = Not happening, but makes politicians & Greenies feel good.
Pretty much same formula work wid solar farms. All kinds talkin bout how $$$$ be saved er $$$$$ be made fer taxpayer, den big black curtain between taxpayer and numbers of $$ made.

City of Rochester has maybe 20 acre collector on top of old dump/landfill where high school built on 1 end. School collapsing cause pilings only into rotting garbage. Solar contraption is at wrong angle except 3 months in Summer, rest of year poor efficiency. Solar company reprojecting figures. Bet soon as dey sign new deal screwin taxpayer panels get reoriented. Big fence wid barb wire protects site. Double fence protects meter so only officials can read. Dey forgot drones exist.

I had a bunch of 90's issues of Guitar Player and a few other music mags. I offered them for free on marketplace. Two months later zero takers so they went to the landfill.

I will never forget something I once read that says if you want to get back at someone, send a donation in their name to some cause. Religious is best.

Bank gives me way more credit than I should have. But just TRY asking for a low limit card for Internet use. Jump through hoops, what time of day where you born? Not approved! Yet, got one, from a girl wandering around the supermarket with a clip board.

5-6 years ago I converted all my magazine subscriptions to electronic and I get all my issues on my I-Pad now. Makes it easy to read every issue of each subscription. I used to keep them in 3 ring binders with magazine inserts, and when I moved last, I sold all the binders. Didn't get much for them, but now I don't mess with paper copies anymore.
