Good on ya @gtaus, I'm 100% in agreement with you. I salvaged a few bricks that were thrown out into the landfill.. these were discarded most likely from a home renovation/demolition project... most of the bricks were perfectly intact.. the motar just had to be removed. The sad thing was these...
Yeap that's right... the Landfill here charges for dumping most items including wood (exceptions are things like car batteries, paints, old engine oil and some other stuff).. and the worst part? They also charge you for taking that rubbish out of their premises...
I know I just regretted not inspecting the quality first before they dumped it into our yard..I just trusted them.. that supposedly yellow sandy "top soil" is still sitting in between layers of quality composted that I made on site after 7 years!!
For example I wanted to buy a ton of mulch from the local landscaper and he wanted to charge me $20 delivery ... I was 5 mins away! And they're pretty dishonest.. I once ordered 2 tons and I'm pretty sure they only trucked a ton. Another time I ordered top soil and they trucked in sand! :mad:
I wish the local chippers were so generous here.. everybody here are so greedy as they charge for everything.. if they can sell you a rotten apple they would!
