An Arlo moment

[msmemory_archive]

I feel a chorus of Alice's Restaurant coming on. The town won't take my yard waste except for during a few weeks in the spring and fall. The DPW website says they have a list of places that take dumping "for a small fee" but the clerk in the office says none of those places is accepting it any more.

I have this urge to drive out to the countryside, find a cliff, and dump all my weeds and prunings over the edge! But I'd probably just get busted for Littering. And Creating A Nuisance.

Maybe I'll get me one of those copper firepits and burn it all, one fistful at a time.

Grass and leaves? You can bring it to Virtue-Stracke's Home for Wayward Leaves, here in Chelmsford.

And we have a large copper brazier (about 2 feet across) you'd be more than welcome to borrow. In which you could burn it a grocery bag at a time. Of course then you'd be cited for having a bonfire without a license or creating a nuisance or something like that.

Just don't put an envelope with your address under the stack when you leave it. :)

Why not compost?

Compost, baby. With your garden, you could use the output of the composter, too. Please consider doing this -- it's a big favor to the environment and only occasionally icky if you don't get a composter that turns over material easily. :)

I sang a chorus to mittenydoom today at work.
I am not sure that bodes well.

If you have marshmallows or hot dogs and a small, well-controlled fire, can't you call it a cookout? I don't know what the law is in your town but that works in lotsa places. I'm from the country, admittedly, but once our township passed a law like that mom just made a point of having s'mores whenever she burned brush.

don't forget the pictures ...

Whatever you decide to do -- just remember to post some pictures (with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one .......)

You can horn in on my bi-weekly yard waste pickup if you like. I'd have to check if this Tuesday is a pickup or a pass.
