    Possible addendum to #3: They use a buzzer at the yard I go to.

    And one other thing. Don't forget to stop when you get on the scale. I've actually seen a guy drive over the scale without stopping, unload and did it again on his way back. They guy at the scale was trying to look serious when chewing him out, but couldn't keep a straight face.

    I was fully planning on stopping at the scales. I have taken large items to the landfill in the past to dump off, and they operate in a similar way, except I never got any money fro discarding those ovens, refrigerators, and water heaters. For that I now kick myself in retrospect.
