Your description would be a small "plastic" grocery bag...the kind that would fit in a barrel at the Postal Station (if that is you MO). Do you need a dumpster for what you described? Exactly, thats my point.

But that was the entire point of the post. What to do with the remains on a non-trash day when leaving. Just because it got derailed, doesn't change the poster's request. One of my favorite drop offs was the I-75 north bound Ocala rest stop. But! Horrors! That rest station has been closed for renovations, & I think will remain closed until 2025. It was only about a half hour into my 1,000 mile journey. It was perfect. (weeping noises here). So, while I should have been able to help the OP, I was looking for ideas myself.

I am grateful for the rec center dumpster idea.

The first part of your post is straight out of Seinfeld episode. Kramer driving a tour bus for umpteen hours trying to dump the discarded bottoms of muffins and being rejected at every dump station. Guess you had to be there

How dare you be so entitled! :beer3:

Some may not want to hear this information, but I believe in getting the official information. This is the official response from the recreation department:

Good morning and thank you for your email.

The recreation Dumpsters are solely for the use by our recreation centers and our approved contractors doing work at our facilities. These are not to be used for household trash. If you could share with me what center this might be so I can make sure our staff is sharing the correct information as well that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Let the walk it back posts begin!
Thank you for the follow up kind sir!

Well congratulations! Something that was not a problem for anyone was escalated it until it was. What turns out to have been a nice courtesy has NOW turned into a problem for the rec center employees.

But hey - you were right and that's all that matters.

Be sure to make the physical therapy appointment to help with the shoulder injuries that come from patting oneself on the back.

Great! Kill a good thing that was never a problem... SMDH...

Who's "dry snitching" now?

Hope you're happy with yourself...

Ain't it the truth?

Some people's children...

Fist off, wasn’t my inquiry. I never put anybody in that position and certainly never participated in the practice. This thread went on for days with people like yourself stating in black and white, repetitively that your fees payed for them, CW and rec center employees allow it , its only a coffee cup or mattress tag etc. I cautioned you specifically to get off your high horse and stop referencing them...even generally. Are you serious in thinking that TV management and employees don’t read this crap? Was only a matter of time before someone got clarification . Next time just think something stupid without posting it!

Post #92....ditto

Go back and re read your posts on this topic....and mine. It’s your practice and you went all in on who allowed it. The ‘dry snitch’ comment that I attributed to you is in its rightful place. The poster that followed up on it is unknown to me and I don’t control this play pen. At least you got to drop some useless memes in the process since and in place of any original or logical thoughts on your own. Now do what you do best and notify the feelings police so I get yet another infraction at your request!

Since when is correcting misinformation with facts a problem?

When there was no misinformation to correct. When going out of your way to escalate the issue could affect the employment of individuals who were likely giving what they believed to be correct information. When the result is the end of a courtesy that was helping some and hurting no one.

I don't agree. If the employees were providing incorrect information, that is the definition of misinformation. I don't think clarifying the policy will result in anyone losing their job.

Interesting how you and the other refuse to accept that your posts were dug in and named departments and by doing so exposed them to all of it by doing so. I was the only one telling you to just walk away from it. As the documentation guy....re read your posts as well. Address me....don’t not lump me in to what others do/post.

Your double negative is difficult to read and I don't believe you meant it the way it actually reads. (though you are responding to a post that does not refer to you so maybe the double negative was intentional)

If you read my posts carefully you will see that I exposed no one.

Individually...no. As stated by you and others multiple times, by department....absolutely you did. People will not walk away from a bad point, position or advice on here. In my short tenure, maybe that includes myself at times. Not on this one though, I tried to coax some into saying less.

I never said "my fees paid for anything"...

But I did say that both the rec center employees and Community Watch said it was fine...

And yes, I thing that TV management has better things to do than "read this crap"...

It wasn't until a "snitch" (your words, not mine) contacted them did they give an opinion on the matter.

And now, they want names of rec centers and employees... Good job!

Don't think he was responding to my posts...

I have waaaay more infractions and "vacations" than you, so spare me the "feelings" BS...

Last I checked, they don't tell you who reported a post...

Bingo!

Nice try... You're as much of a problem one this thread as the "retired one"

"A matter of time"?

I posted the very same information 3 years ago (and multiple times since then), well before you joined our little madhouse...

And do you know what "TV management" had to say about it?

NOTHING! NADA! ZILCH! ZIPPY! SQUAT!

So maybe you should take your own advice.

I am flabbergasted by the vitriol on this thread. As a Villages resident, I feel like I have every right to ask a Villages department to clarify their policies and to share the information they provide. I never thought the purpose of this website was to spread misinformation.

You are correct.

You really are gullible if you don’t think TV management and employees don’t read this forum. Since they probably already know people like you will always air your grievances on it...and not in person. It’s a wise read for them.

You started this post with ‘but I did say rec center employees and Community Watch said it was fine’ Talk about lighting the wick!

Since you’re selective in response to posts....go back and read where I introduced the rec center dumpsters/employees in the thread or as a user. That’s you Einstein!

As far as them ‘wanting names of rec centers and employees’....you and your pals walked ‘retired’ down that path. Don’t accuse me of something just because your lack of posting anything of value ....stock is low.

I would just clarify that Community Watch has nothing to do with establishing the policy of who can use the rec center dumpsters. They are not part of the Recreation Department. They are a separate department. So, anything a Community Watch employee says about dumpster usage may not be reliable information.
