The big compactor massacre

[Dave S]

It scared the pants off of me watching those guys crunch up all those CRTs with NO SAFETY GOGGLES! That's the definition of an accident waiting to happen.

Around here, some people still complain about having to recycle but I suspect most would think it's criminal crunching up all that lead and plastic and who knows what else. We'd never be allowed to do that any more, and that's got to be a good thing!

Depends on where that truck is going. I didn't see any garbage, just trash (some was probably some good trash for us AKers here, but...). Anyway, maybe the truck takes it to a recycling place that melts it all down and recovers the raw materials. Better it directed to reuse than to get loose in a swampy landfill.
