Where to put all the junk?

I recently disposed of some junk that had been annoying me for some time. The junk consisted of an old console tv that wouldn't sell on ebay for $1.00, a basketball net and pole with the concrete base still attached, an old lawn mower that would not work despite my best efforts, three tires, old golf bags etc...

With no truck or even a van at my disposal, I called many local companies with prices ranging from $50 for first two items and $10 per item thereafter to $175 per truckload. I even called home depot whose trucks you apparently cannot rent to go to the dump and finally Enterprise truck rental which rents for $65 per day plus gas.

Finally when I was beginning to think it would be impossible at an affordable price, I came across Wasteaway Hauling on a google search. They were able to pick everything up the next morning for the low price of $60, and since I wasn't home they picked up the check in the mailbox.

My garage and I are feeling quite unencumbered and grateful!

  3. Hi Patrikia aka cloppy,

    I had my son sign up as a follower which he was able to do by using his google password. However he quickly unfollowed when he saw the title of the blog!
