Where to get rid of old carpet

[blaise]

I had to do 50 hours community service for illegal dumping when I was like 19.
I was home for college and had gone out drinking one night. My mom wouldn't yell at us if we came home late, she would make us get up at like 7:00 am and do chores and stuff. She told me to go return the bottles and cans to the grocery (this was in NY, and you had to pay a five cent deposit on cans and bottles) So, I went to the grocery, but there was a line and I was hung over so I left. I went to a gravel pit near town where people went to drink. I set the bags down; I figured someone would find them and take them back for the $4 or whatever. The second I set them down a cop pulled up. Then the judge gave me 50 hours community service.
I did the first 40 in a snowstorm and shovelled snow. The last 10 I swept a sidewalk and picked up trash while these old dudes laughed at me and said stuff like, "He's working for the judge."

I bet that was a fun thing to tell your mom. Or did you?

Nope. I never did. He gave me the ticket, I drove back to court from college. The judge let me do the first 40 hours community service over spring break and the last 10 the first week of summer.
One funny thing that happened (though I didn't think so at the time) was the town employees told me to shovel out all the fire hydrants on main street. From the sidewalk to the street, two feet on either side. So, I did like 3. The snow was deep, it took a while. Then, as soon as I was done, they drove past with the plow and shot all the snow from the street up onto the sidewalk and filled all the paths I just made. Then they stopped and laughed at me.
Then they picked me up and we went to lunch.
