This time of the year there are loads of big old glass boats for sale around our parts, north shore Lake Erie. We had to laugh the other day. A guy had a big sign propped against his 80's or 90's era 26 footer.

BUY TRAILER, FREE BOAT

To scrap a big glass boat here you need to cut it up, separate all the different materials and bring it to the "Recycle Centre" Depending on the weight it can cost you well over $1000.00. The tipping fee just to drive in is 20 bucks. We don't have garbage dumps any longer.

$20 just to drive in is insane.

And expensive. Believe it or not our town manager suggested that they stop garbage and recycle pick up here from Oct. to May. We would have to drive 35 minutes to the dump and pay for it. Would save the county millions. I told the Mayor why not stop Police and Fire services while you are at it. We ran her out of town on a rail with the Mayors blessing. Our local councillor thought it was a great idea, can't wait for the next election. I may run.
