Every Spring,
State Officials provide a few dollars for each county to host
recycling, clean up efforts. For Clayberry, that amounts
to a once a year chance to get rid of those old washers,
driers, tires, hot water tanks and the like. Before each
event, locals set to work cleaning up stream banks, home properties,
and road sides.
Since the State took away our legal local dumps, this is our only chance to legally dispose of junk and clean up the county at the same time. Each year, tons upon tons of discarded junk is hauled out of County Clay. Where all the old tires come from, nobody knows.
For 2022, April 23rd was the designated date. In years past, long lines of pick em up trucks pulling trailers waited patiently at road side until it was their turn to dispose of the stuff. Those lines would sometimes, stretch out for a 1/4 mile or longer.
Something happened this year. There were no long waiting lines.
We checked the place twice. Once at 9am and again around noon, Poof!, no lines. People just backed up to the big green trucks and unloaded. No wait.
