Since Mom is on an all-liquid formula diet, she uses many-lots of cans. Since she gets mail from every charity organization going, she also generated many-lots of paper trash. So, a couple of times a month, Charlie and I load up The Gothmobile and head for the Harrison County Recycling facility.
Their door is covered with strips of heavy plastic, like industrial-strength runners. It makes it easy to go in and out and probably cuts down the draft during the winter.
That’s The Gothmobile, there, with her hatchback DOOR open.
Inside the facility ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done.
On the other side of the fence, I found another door, and a picnic table for those who enjoy dining al fresco next to a recycling facility.
This bird family has found their own air conditioned apartment next to the facility’s heat pump.
If the facility is closed, you can use these bins. Lids are kinda sorta doors, aren’t they? Sure, they are!
And so, we bid a fond adieu to the recycling facility, with one last shot of the view across the way for all the industrial-heads in the audience.

December 8, 2016 at 8:24amWe need facilities with those sorts of doors. Our recycling is done curbside, which makes it much easier, but both get the job done. I like the bird apartment, although it has a rather open door. Happy Thursday, Marian.

December 8, 2016 at 8:35amI’m surprised more birds don’t make doors to their nests. In fact, I don’t know of any who make closable doors. They’re certainly clever enough. Good observation! I’ll have to ask an ornithologist about that. π

December 8, 2016 at 9:33amYes those lids do qualify as doors, at least in my book they do π
We’re lucky to have curbside pick-up for garbage and recycling, large household trash, and compostable waste. The only time we have to drive to a facility is for hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, batteries etc….

December 8, 2016 at 2:23pmThe bad part of living in the country is no curbside pickup for recycling. The good part is: ROAD TRIP. π

December 8, 2016 at 5:27pmI can’t imagine eating alfresco outside a recycling place but it’s handy for the employees I guess.

December 9, 2016 at 8:18amAround here, it would have the added benefit of the diners being able to see who recycles and who doesn’t, and what. “Ellie and Hobart Francisco comes in ever week and carries in at least one box that rattles like glass, and they don’t never meet your eye. Now, if that was soda pop, wouldn’t they smile and wave? You tell me.”

December 9, 2016 at 8:19amAh! I didn’t know I got bonus points for silos and water towers! I’ll have to keep an eye out for those. π

December 10, 2016 at 5:33pmYou put a bit – lots of a smile on me as I read this post; quite humorous! Thanks for sharing the lids and other stuff and your humor this week. π
