Do a lot of people really visit their town dump multiple times a month?
I think I was at our metro's dump in 2019.
...if klein frames were just laying around, I would make the drive more than once every decade.

It’s a transfer station - gets a visit every time the bin at home is full (in my case maybe once or twice a month).

depends on your circumstance. I don’t have curbside, and I drive by it repeatedly, so I swing in to see what free items have arrived. It’s like a free flea market. An incredible amount of great stuff trickles in.

I haven't been to a dump since two decades I think @rwh63, just by curiosity did you happen to finish one of your projects ?

No such thing, but wishing you and anyone who rides it a long and healthy life.
