Recycling Of Waste



When we moved into out new area we had to get garbage service. The charge $16 month to pice all your yard wast and up to 10extra bag as well. The bill quarterly, so it is about 48$ every 3 months. Not to bad in my opinion,

Now on the Recycling issue. When we have lived in other areas around the country, we have dnoe the program. SO i figured i should check that service out here. The want $6 a month to pick up the Recycle Bin. Where they then take it and seperate it and sell it to reclamation centers for money. WE bought the stuff at a store, so it is OUR stuff. IF we choose to recycle, we should not have to pay for them to pick it up, We should get a credit for what we turn in. Why do we have to pay them to take it away, stuff that would have been thrown away anyway! What a Crock!@ We p[ay them to take refuse in a box thy provide so they can seperate and make money by selling it to some other facility. What a good game they have going!!

What do you think of this as i am sure that many of you who have to pay to "help the environment" in this manner? They should pay us a fee based on hoe much material er recycle that they pick up. I know some cities have the program that are free pickup of recycled materials, i would do that. Not Here! Wast Management (Wasted Management) as i have heard it called, charges us to make more money for them. Not a good idea.

SO, just put all the garbage into one bag and let them separate it out at their offices where they have to employ someone to do what we used to do and paid them for the privileged to do it. IT is just wrong!!

Now, off of my Soap Box...

10.55pm CST I went outside tonight and set my camera up on the tri-pod with the wireless remote and my 70-300mm lens ready to do some "Rotation Of Earth" photography. I pointed my camera at Jupiter and took this shot! It was shot in a 16:9 format. The exposure time was 54 seconds. The camera was in "BULB" mode and "Night" style with the lens in Manual Focus. This photo turned out much better than the one from last night as the Moon was not adding light to the night sky. I was able to capture more stars in this photo.

Exposure: 54 sec (54)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300 mm

St Louis: Live on the Levee

We are going tonight to see OAR and watch Fireworks in St Louis at the Live On The Levee.
I have only heard one song from OAR but it is a free concert and the Fireworks are free as well, So it beats sitting at home unloading boxes!

I will have photos to post over the weekend from this event!

Have a good evening!
