Title: Recycled Sand
Post by: Henry on April 04, 2008, 06:56:16 AM
Haven't had a chance to check with Don Pigeon yet, but due to the lack of salt this past winter, I have an extra heavy duty coat of sand on my lawn.  I usually rent a power broom from Franklin Rent All and sweep it off the lawn and then put it around my mailbox.  This year, I think I have a bit too much for that.  Hopefully Don Pigeon will have a place, maybe outside the chain fence where people can dump their sand.

That's a great idea.  I usually sweep up ( manually - that power broom looks more and more appealing each year as my back takes longer and longer to heal.  though i wonder what it would do to my fragile grass-in-sand lawn) mine, save about 80 lbs of it for the ice on the driveway in the winter and dump the rest off to the side of the road where the run-off water cut's canyons into the shoudler.
