I brought four bags of compost and three bags of additional garbage.  The bill was $18!  Yikes!  The worst part was the tax.  The tax was 17%.  Ouch.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that I learned that they take some stuff that I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to get rid of.  For $10, they&#8217;ll take 20 pound propane tanks and recycle them.  I have two that don&#8217;t have the fancy new valves that are required if you want to get them refilled and I&#8217;ve been struggling to figure out how to get rid of them because the county recycling center wouldn&#8217;t take them.  For $40 they&#8217;ll take my dead riding lawn mower.  I can live with that too.<\/p>\n<p>The purging of excess stuff will hopefully continue.  The part I need to tackle the most is my office.  It has gotten way out of hand and I need to spend some serious time sorting through and reorganizing everything that is in there.  I&#8217;m not looking forward to doing the task, but I&#8217;m looking forward to it being done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Pete<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our spring cleaning binge has continued.
