Saint Petersburg Recycling Center

Tis a joy to get rid of items through a recycling center instead of stuffing them into plastic bags or tossing them into the streets. People can be quite wasteful sometimes.
This is why I went to one of the five RecyclaMat/​Brush sites in Saint Petersburg yesterday with a trailer full of tree branches, limbs and what not. all for FREE!
Mind you, one has to produce a Florida ID/​water bill to qualify oneself for dumping privileges. How else would Sylvester, the Pinellas County employee here for the past 15 years know I was a neighbor dumping my load or I had made the trip from California with an oak tree in my lap? Okay. that’s a far-​fetched idea…
The site is well-​maintained with various Indian mound/​pyres of wood, metal and mulched items. In fact, they give out free mulch to the public from the fellow who mulches the leaves and limbs.
It was a good feeling to know that this recycling place exists so close to my place and it’s well worth the short drive, right next to Lake Maggiore.
