Popcorn Disposal

On New Years Eve, we took our asbestos laden load to the only place that accepts it in the immediate area, at the Rabanco Disposal sight, downtown, just south Safeco Field. Because of the pending holiday, traffic was light. Ohm's Dad went to the dump alone while Ohm's Mom and Ohm went to the Babysitter. Ohm's dad pulled onto the scale at the gate in the '95 civic with three large heavy bags of popcorn ceiling. It should be noted that the popcorn was double bagged in 6 mil thick bags that were 50 inches wide and 60 inches tall.

After sitting at the scale for a couple minutes, Ohm's Dad got out of the civic and stuck his head in the 5' window at the scale. After expressing her surprise that a car snuck on the scale without her noticing, the attendant directed Ohm's Dad to a "Blue Dumpster" along the yellow wall. Ohm's Dad pulled up to the "Blue Dumpster" and discovered the dumpster was about 9 feet tall. He tried to push the bags into the dumpster a couple of times, but just couldn't get it to fall in the dumpster. So he pulled the civic up to the dumpster and climbed up on the hatchback tailgate to push the bag in. That is when he discovered that the top of the dumpster was sealed. After inspecting the "Blue Dumpster" a door was discovered in the end of the container, where the 3 large bags were easily deposited.
