[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424389, member: 4964"] Okay - We have 2 acres - so don't go there sister - HE DOES THE CANS - now - there is a rule - rinse, crush, bag. And he can keep the money. I don't drink anything in a can - so he can have the money. Last trip to the recyclers? Cha ching. $45.00 He was so proud. The clothes from the 70's? OMG Okay - Can we talk?
