I only invest in companies that have recycle stations, hauling companies and thier own landfills. No matter how bad it gets the trash always has to be hauled sorted and diposed of.
    I work for a trash company ( hands on it ) heck it never ends . The attitude with people is always the same - They wait for the mail man -Is the letter here yet ?
    not yet OK maybe tomorrow . If I mis a house ...... Forget it they are on the phone to dispatch . He just passed me !!! or Did he come yet ? Trash needs to be gone.
    Trash is lucrative first it is handled different state to state but here the trash is rotated at holding facilities representing mass of land . Section's have a tarp with a membrane & piping , methane is collected , after about 5 years a section is spent out then removed . It's a never ending source of fuel . The old trash i am told is taken down south not sure what comes of it . The recycling is sorted from paper , plastic, Glass , aluminum & steel cans and bailed into BIG square bundles weighed and sold
    Some plastic is not recyclable & is shred to be used as a petroleum based fuel.
    So now that you got me thinking , worth looking into ,
    any Ticker's you care to share ?

    Yes my friends a good cooler will always be your best freind. But, ummm, i never said they were full of water. Lol. Just kidding if you work your way past the bottles of jim beam and cola, dig down a lil farther till you see the coronas, move just a lil to the front and push aside the ice youll see my bottle of crown. And right next to that is were i keep 4 bottles of fiji water for the wife. And if you really dig around there may be a couple of gatorades. I love my cooler, and i love to drink, and i love to drink around my cooler. You poor souls who dont think coolers are essential ive known many of you and pitt you sirscrapsalot you are welcome to enter into the refreshing oasis that is my cooler if your ever on my end. The rest of you i like you all but im afraid with the world being like it is yal may need to pass a background check first. Lol. PEACE BE THE JOURNEY. - Manjelle


    There are just no words to describe this post other then...





    Sirscrapalot - On the way to the cooler again, can't wait to get back to the cooler again...- Willie Nelson, if he sang about coolers instead of roads.
