Was it “DOWN BY THE RIVER?”
If only people treated the land they “own” as sacred land that your leasing from mother nature. It’s disgusting how much people let trash and vehicles pile up in So Hum.
I can still remember way back when we used to dump for free. Scavengers hung out most of the day, to collect the treasures the ignorant didn’t recognize.
Now it costs $50-75 miminum, no scavenging allowed, fined if a recyclable item enters the fray, and are treated like scum for having trash we have to dump off.
Charlotte is right. Ignorance is rampant.
What dump do you go to ????? I can fill my truck with household garbage and and old couch and it cost around 20 bucks to dump it in Redway …..
Its $7.00 for the first truckload then by weight in Eureka, you DO go to the wrong dump…. Or you dump your stuff by the side of a road because someone told you the dump costs $50…
$8 minimum dump charge. Then it’s by the ton (at 7.7 cents per pound), not the truck load. I dumped several load of things recently. Maybe Eel River Disposal? They’re a lot closer than the Eureka station. There are also per-item charges such as 5 bucks each for bulky items and 6 for truck tires. Each. And the charges go up from there. Last trip there cost me $65 for one truck bed of junk from my garage. Of note: don’t take stuff that’s been sitting in the rain. You’re charged by weight, and well….water weighs a lot and you pay for that too.
