For SCG, I found this cage trap cover that doubles as a skunk spray shield.

Omg, yes yes yes. Thank you. I betcha I could sew one, too. With little Pepe LePew outdoor fabrics...
Why not boil them whole ( after a good wash if your picky ) for a soup stock?
The directions I have for stock include taking off the toenail and outer skin and then using the resultant clean feet in your stock - source of beta carotene.
That being said, I usually look at the caked on poo and say not today.
As far as dumps go, ours discourages "picking" but there's a free swap shed that encourages swapping anything that could be re-used and the dump employees will rummage through your trash before (and after) you put it in the packer or open top to tell you to go throw something in the swap shed. My best swap shed grab was a nice plastic bucket with a rope top that was perfect for carrying the exact amount of water the duck dish needed in winter. A few weeks ago they had a turtle sandbox, which is by far one of the best things to have as a makeshift dust bath area for the 6 months of winter we get with frozen ground. I had already gotten a turtle sandbox off freecycle, but was thinking hard about a second one.
