Nice! Definitely like the price. Wish I knew about these prior to Hurricane Sandy when I used plastic grocery bags to help stop the flooding. The grocery bags worked in a pinch, but still.

Good deal Z Man. I have y'all beat though. When waters crest in our bayous, parish dump trucks loaded with sand have dump spots just around my corner where they truck in mounds of sand and boxes of sand bags. Now that I have a truck (yay!), I can help myself like everyone else does. I'll hold the bag open and let my brother shovel the sand in. I live that close to another small city between two bayous, so I have access to two dumping spots. Of course I won't be a pig about it. I need that for my other house, it's only about 2 1/2 feet elevated. It's never flooded but it came really close for Rita. Tax paying dollars at work.  |

Good for them and you
during past floods in KY and KS states provided sand bags and/or sand for free as well
in Paducah KY where both of my Daughters live, every Oct the city throws out a box of 100 extra strong, extra large trash/leaf bags at each garbage pickup location. So that the people can/will put there raked leaves into the bags so they can be picked up and mixed/added to the city compost heap, where you can also go to in the spring and get free loads of compost (until its gone, no commercial enterprizes allowed)
There are a lot of leaves in Paducah in the fall.
In addition to the benefit of the compost it keeps down the "burning" of the leaves (banned in the city limits)
On A side note the guy who I rented from when I first lived in Paducah (and as far as I know the richest guy in Paducah) would get up a zero dark 30 and drive around to all of his properties (a considerable number) and pickup all of the dropped off trash/leaf bags he could find and take them home for his personal use.
Yes! That's right he stole them from his renters and from the city and disrupted the recycling efforts they were trying to do, which reminds me he also would go around early on recycle days and plunder all of the aluminum cans put out, so he could sell them. This guy was worth untold millions of dollars form his construction business and his real estate holdings.
maybe that's what it takes to be rich and why I never have been or will be

I just think it's wonderful for the city to recycle leaves into a community compost. As to the millionaire, I believe now that he's achieved his riches, it's just greediness on his part. I would like to see our community create a community garden. Spoke to my councilman and he doesn't think it'll be a great idea.
