Warning: Don't tell your children you went to the dump. DD is in Breckenridge with family and friends. Told her we went to breakfast and then to the dump....and she texted: Nice
I want you to Google TDS, which is the dump in Creedmoor, TX where I first used to get the glass mulch. It's Texas Disposal Systems. Shortly after I started going there for soils, our MG group was invited to spend an evening there touring the facility.
They had had lots of resistance from the locals when they wanted to put the "dump" there. They tried to put in a golf course in conjunction with the landfill at first, I believe. The locals screamed it down. Soooo they decided to make it a wildlife refuge. You've not seen a dump like this one. Giraffes, elk, zebras, wildlife, you get it, wandering all around the facility. We had dinner in the lodge there, and then loaded onto buses. They took us thru the facility's grounds. We'd stop to let the wildlife cross the roads, take photos, and then on to the next areas. And guess what? It didn't "smell."
