[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1101452, member: 16802"] My grand dad bought a garbage truck with compactor at auction from a city, I think Tulsa. It was about 1960 give or take. People told him he was crazy and "folks will not pay you money to haul off trash when they can burn it, pile it, or bury it themselves". He succeed in operating the first rural trash pickup service here. He did many interesting things that no one should have had the foresight on. He hauled off the "trash" for free from some local industries. The 55 gallon drums of compacted aluminum shavings still line the fence. It is in a family trust now, but that trash truly is a treasure now. Maybe not on topic but for whatever reason your post reminded me of grand dad [/QUOTE]
