What don't you understand about dumpster?
The weather is warming up, the snow is mostly gone, and I'm starting to get my morning aeorbics walking the country roads again. What I can't understand is why people prefer to dump their garbage on the roadsides. Not only the occasional beer bottle and McDonalds detritus, but multiple cheap bursting black 30 gallon trash bags of garbage. It really sours my opinion of the human race.
The Conservation Commission gave a forester permission to build a temporary road across town land to harvest some timber from his back lot, but with the proviso that he block the road off at night so it wouldn't get used as a dump. Not good enough... while he was working in broad daylight, someone came in and dumped a refrigerator. What pigs we be.

Probably people who didn't want to jump through the regulatory hoops of disposing of a fridge (Toxic gases, etc) or getting a dump permit. Not that I'd condone that kind of laziness, of course...
I've got a small pile of computer bits here which I can't dispose of. I can strip the box down and dispose of the metal and plastic easily enough, but the circuit boards and power supply have all kinds of nasty heavy metals that need to be reclaimed. I won't even start on monitors; we pay our town $20 per to dispose of CRTs.

Used to give my old computer stuff to schools and they were grateful. Those days are sure gone. But I'm saving my original 1981 IBM-PC with the full 64k of memory until it's an antique and worth beaucoup bucks!
