04 Mt. Trashmore

Georgia

My 3rd visit to this trash heap on my 3rd week as a trash collector driver. This is our Friday stop since I'm closer to the land fill on Fridays than I am the local transfer station.

You can actually count the layers of trash just by looking at the lines in this mountain.

I got some really nice pictures of the views from the top of this trash heap. Beautiful, but no where near odor free!!!

Paul, I received my CDL back in 2005. I drove an 18 wheeler over the road for about 8 months and hated every minute of it. So I found a local job (not truck driving) and stuck with that. I got laid off from that job about 3 years later. I was in and out of temp jobs after that. I got tired of starting a new job every 2-3 years. I applied for this job and got the job about a month ago. I'm hoping this will take me to retirement in about 10 years. I'm done looking for new jobs hopefully!

Dave, The views were beautiful, but no straight lines. Plenty of lines if you think about lines drawing clouds, trees, etc. That's pretty much what was all around this location. They own thousands of acres where most of it is forests.

But did the views from the summit have lines?

Reread your comment and that answers my question about how long you’ve hauled trash. Did you have to get a CDL for this job? Paul

I feel the need to get one very important comment out right now, I do NOT envy your job for even a minute. Is this a long term job you’ve had for years or a recent career change. I worked in some real odd jobs over the years but never in a landfill. Glad to see you back Alan. Paul
