Pahoa transfer station experience today - terracore - 09-13-2020
For any punawebbers who may have been at the xfer station today, I would like to apologize for the experiences I shared with you this morning.
I didn't know that a chicken had laid eggs in the back of my truck until I got all the garbage off of them, getting rustled around caused several of them to explode, sending a weapons-grade mushroom cloud of rotten egg stench that reverberated off the covered area, reflecting the putrid shockwave back down onto people just trying to get rid of their rubbish. Not a whisp of breeze to move the polluted air out of the area, either.
Sure, I pretended like I didn't know that *I* was the source of everybody's discomfort, but then things just got worse.
Also in the back of the truck were 2-3 green coconuts that had their water harvested, but then were left out and had taken on some rain and starting to decompose. The flies swarming around the water harvest hole indicated they were probably maggoty inside, and the responsible thing would have been to take them to the green waste bin but it was only 2-3 cocos and the back of my truck was poisoning the local air supply, so I decided to just toss them in with the garbage. Of course, that went horribly wrong.
One of the coconuts got away from me and rolled over to the stall next to me, leaving a trail of maggoty water that dribbled over the guy's foot. "Fortunately" he was wearing slippahs, so the maggot juices should be able to be quickly hosed off. I apologized for defiling his foot and footwear, and thankfully he seemed to find the humor in it, or maybe he was just light headed from the caustic fumes.
So wear your masks.

Thanks for your heartfelt and still humorous apology. I wasn't there, but my friend from Nanawale was, and I heard about it before reading your post ( dare I say via the 'coconut wireless' ? )
An only-in-Puna tip: having found several old nests from my feral chickens, I've found the best way to transport them to the transfer station is to first place them in a plastic bag/container, and put them in the freezer until you make your trash run. It seems from your story that you only found them too late for this tip to be of use, but maybe for next time.

ONG! Was that you? It was so crowded, I had to take garbage over from the green waste area and, they were plentiful at the third bay! And I left some garbage in truck so had to make two trips over. My husband said, “what’s the big deal?” Maggots!!!!
RE: Pahoa transfer station experience today - terracore - 09-15-2020
No maggots from me. Just maggoty water!

So the green waste is open in Pahoa? Sure would be closer than Hilo!

Well, being entertained by territore's misfortune.......should I feel guilty?
