A $500 Toilet Seat Under The Veterans Bridge

  • Tuesday, June 6, 2023

Now, I admit that I have no concept of how large or toxic this homeless camp was that cost the city $77,620 to clean up. However, I took a tandem trailer filled with debris to the Birchwood landfill a few days ago at a cost of $86.

By my math, I could take over 900 trailer loads at a cost of $77,620. That’s a lot of trash.

Could this be one of those $500 toilet seats?
