Today's trip to the Transfer Station (and "yes", I do my fair share of taking the trash to the dump!) was all about contributions: a box of bottle returns for The Lions Club; summer reads for the Got Books Bin; a bag of clothes for The Community Share clothing bin; and perhaps most importantly, a tray of baked goods for the terrific men who work the transfer station!
This team of guys (no women yet!) are always happy to help a neighbor with unloading trash from cars, getting large items in and out of The Swap Shop (photo on right) and bringing recyclables to the paper and plastic bins. They keep the flow of traffic moving, never complain, and they work especially hard in the summer when the heat/humidity makes for a not-so-lovely aroma around the station.When I knocked on their little office door to give them the cupcakes, you would have thought I offered them a million dollars. They were shocked and commenting how rare it is for "the help" to receive treats. Which makes me think..."why don't we show our appreciation more often?"
