Thanks Trail Rider.

Thanks Billy J. I will give them a call.

HIB, I called Big Bear Disposal, and you can now set out up to 15 bags of pine needles for curb side pickup if you don't want to drive out the Clean site #1. I get the feeling that they will eventually close down Site #2 (across from City Hall.

Rich Electric is good...
bullet BillyJean on Thursday 07 May 2026 - 09:24:09
If they make it too difficult, just throw it in the dumpster. I try to be green, but I shouldn't have to pay extra for it.

KD6, I've used Rich Electric for a few projects in the past; they do great work and have reasonable prices. (909) 556-1735

I'm looking to have some electrical work done (specifically a main panel replacement); any recommendations on an electrician up here? I'm in the Gliner Point area.

One has to take organic items to the other clean bear site which is across town. I have a woodstove but an overabundance of pine needles.

where do the organic items need to be brought to?

For us, we have woodstoves that we burn these type of things in, needles soaked in fat are super good firestarters
bullet holeinbow on Wednesday 06 May 2026 - 21:10:45
Ive got two issues tonight, one is why the heck did they stop taking pine needles and sticks across from city hall?! Twice the work to drive it all the way over by the hospital, dont my taxes pay for that?

I think we should have a giant swapmeet and bonfire twice a year. Swapmeet quarterly would be great...

All we should ever see in this town is fender benders. These 2 today were pretty much totals. I used to only have to 'defensive drive and dodge' once, twice a week. Now its continual every time out the door.
