Haha! I'd say Top 5, if NOT best ever episode on TV! LoL... I think they do kinda fly... But really low to ground. Minivan grill and truck windshield height! The Big Guy, Mr. Carlson was half right... Except domestic Butterballs® are couch potatoes: "Despite their weight, wild turkeys, unlike their domesticated counterparts, are agile, fast fliers. In ideal habitat of open woodland or wooded grasslands, they may fly beneath the canopy top and find perches. They usually fly close to the ground for no more than 400 m (a quarter mile)." 7 minutes ago, Turk71 said: What an idiot, why didn't he just break the bottle? He was from Honduras?

Buffalo_Gal Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 2 hours ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: Pulled down the deck this weekend (Amherst, NY). Highway department says they do not schedule special pickups and will only take 40-50 lbs per week curbside. The old deck was 230 SQ ft pressure treated lumber so it would take forever to get rid of it that way. Can't burn because of stain and chemicals. Looking to unload somewhere for free as I struggle morally to pay for something i'm getting rid of. Anyone have a similar experience or a woodchuck I could borrow? Have you looked into a bagster? Guardcompany may work for you. Or, rent a uhaul and take it over to the dump on North Forest? I honestly have no idea how much debris was generated from your deck, so these are just ideas.

davefan66 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Ripped down an old Fanta Sea pool. Can’t believe how much wood went into making it. Wanted it gone fast so I took a huge pickup truck load of it to a Modern site near Orchard park. $80 to dump it. Would have taken a couple more truckloads to get rid of the rest. Ended up burning what wasn’t stained or pressure treated. Lastly, cut up the rest and tied it up, took six weeks of dumping it at the curb to get rid of the rest. Where I live I have to pay for garbage disposal, and they wouldn’t allow free dumping at their sites. Did you call Amherst and see if you could dump it for free?

BuffaloBud Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Is there a Boy Scout troop doing a project that could re-purpose the wood? The local mountain bike club takes just about anything to build bridges, ramps, and the like on the local trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codes are tougher up there in the northern 'burbs because of the Tonawanda Coke closure. That should do with the location no? If you have a good size yard you should be able to burn wood in a fire pit a little bit at a time. 1 - just don't get too close. 2 - don't cook on it. If you have 5 or more acres ..... A bon fire when it's allowed - There are No Burn designated times in VA. Do these "chemical police" fine you if your house burns down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned an old, mold-riddled hutch that had been sitting in a shed for years this past weekend. Actually, they are called By-Law Officers around here, or even Police Officers in some areas can ticket for burning where it's not allowed. Fire Department gets called they can also fine too in some cases. They take things seriously further into the summer when there isnt as much rain and everything's dry. Most Cities are getting stricter with their open fire by-laws these days. Just bring the wood inside I And burn in a fire place, the fumes will give you a nice buzz that's cheaper then buying drugs..... When I was a kid my dad used to burn our old Christmas tree and leaves in the spring/summer in the back yard. Neighbors called a few times cause they thought the garage was on fire. Usually got a warning as a first offence, then threatened with a fine if they came out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is free with ID.Link I didnt see anywhere saying it was free to the dump, but reading that list, man you are lucky with what they pick up. Up here they wont take anything curbside that's viewed as 'construction waste'. That stuff has to be taken directly to the dump if you dont get a private bin. We also have a one can/bag limit, or else you have to put a $2 tag/sticker on each bag over that and they have even been talking about switching to 2 week pickup, and requiring clear bags so they can see if you are throwing out items that can be recycled..... The only thing I refuse to take to the dump and pay for is metal items, i take those to a scrap yard and get money to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesir Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Assuming that some of the wood is in good shape; perhaps the joists and any 2x4s or 2x6s that are still viable, Buffalo ReUse will come and pick them up. I took down a large swing set assembly last year as well as a large section of deck and they came and picked up all of the wood as long as it is not rotted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not good for the environment to burn. The pressure treated chemicals make that a no-no.
