"One Man's Junk is another Man's
Treasure"
Every year, the Borough of Chambersburg
offers the residents a "Bulky Day" to put
old items out along the curb to be picked up
by the borough and hauled away to the dump.
This event also brings out the "scavengers" to
search for items of interest.

Saturday, May 7th, 2005- Members were
outside
of the station and noticed a "BRONX
standard
Pickup Truck" coming down the street with
a
load of "junk" being hauled.

The Bronx pickup (wheelbarrow) stopped
across from the station at a house and
began
to evaluate the items of "interest".

A new spare tire for the "truck" was
being inspected

After a collection of additional "items",
the
"truck" proceeded on down McKinley
Street.

OH !! so you finally have seen the
"light".
Sure Matt, Thanks and here's your application.
HERE IT COMES !! THE
FUTURE !!

Coming soon to a fire near you
