It is a well established Maine tradition to return from the dump with
more goods than you deposited.  I have utilized this tradition to score
books, chairs, jeans, sneakers, bicycles, board games, sweaters, soccer
cleats, etc., etc., etc.  Recycling at its finest.  No Vanagon parts
unfortunately...............

In a recent townwide referendum, voters approved retaining the town
transfer station (AKA: "the dump") over curbside garbage pickup by a
margain of three to one!
