The Metro Transfer Station was filled with trash AND artist gleaners this weekend! Four (of the five) of us showed up on Saturday to dig for treasures that we could use in our art. It was just one of those serendipitous kinds of events...so many of us coming together at one time, which ordinarily never happens. Needless to say, it's much more fun being there as a small group...even a bit of a "bonding" experience.
Between the four of us we probably had more than four hundred pounds of stuff when we weighed out...I had the least, about sixty pounds.
The big event happened back at our work area at the far end of the Transfer Station. We "cleaned house." There was so much that we had accumulated (trash that we'd gleaned, but hadn't yet gone home), so we decided to get rid of it and start fresh. We have our own large steel dumpster which was already overflowing, so we began a pile beside the dumpster. I'm hoping that it's all cleared away this next week.

Jen and I shared the (new/wrapped) toilet tissue...there must have been upwards of a hundred rolls that had been tossed. We kinda' felt like we were at Costco !
