    Here is particulars from Google on the landfill.


    North Little Rock, AR
    Hours 7AM to 4:30 tonight
    Open today · Phone: (866) 909-4458

    Call your company/'s OSD agent, that one will dictate a comcheck for whatever fee for 1000 pounds of bad berries to dump, you will be weighed and they will tell you what is what.

    We have dumped before in two different fills around the USA, these were whole truckloads at the time.

    US 67 has construction to Jaxville above the Landfill to the north, about 4 miles of small walls.

    Now that is not a bad idea. I don't know of any off hand. We are in fish country between here and Lonoke. There are cattle ranches west and north of here, that should be worth something...

    Scottied67's next video title " Raspberry Beret" with Prince playing in the background. "What s up party people, I have a 1,000 lbs of raspberries refused by the receiver, JCT wants me to take it to homeless shelter, or Petro to give truckers some much needed fiber in their diets, or just dump them along the interstate ramps until I get rid of them"

    I hate it when that happens.

    Poles like $1,000, maybe even $800.

    Now those transformers that went kaboom, maybe $5K .

    Probably $15Kish in labor / equipment to put it back together.

    I'll say $25K when it's finished.

    I still have my electrical license.

    There's lot's of opportunities to do that very thing from what I've seen.

    That could have been quite serious. Probably 12000 volts on that dude. That's why the transformers cost so much. They may be even more now.

    But that could of fried somebody real easy.

    Plus loss of business depending on what it was powering.

    When I contracted, I did many projects that involved working around fibre optic lines. BIG ONES. If you took one of those out, the dollar amount for damages do to loss revenue of the businesses it fed was like $5,000 minute.
    So, you basically lost your ### if that happened lol.
    Worked on a project where some dude didn't secure the boom on a crane at lunch.
    It slowly spun around and hit these 72000 volt lines. Sounded like a bomb going off.
    Fried, I mean fried it burst into flames, the crane.
    Later after they carted it off the ground where the outriggers were, was charred like molten black glass where the voltage actually went to ground.

    Fooling with electricity is when your testes are much larger than your brain.

    I use to do high work in a sling on the end of a crane lol. They out lawed that now.

    Klein tools is the maker of most quality electrical tools..... the have a sticker for your truck window with a lineman hanging on a pole that says " Even firemen need hero's. "
