Peterborough has the nicest dump (er,sorry, I mean to say Recycling Center). You drive in through this forest of pine trees, and then opposite the parking area is this beautiful garden full of flowering plants. The people who work there are nice, and it's a pretty pleasant experience to go there every week or so.
There's also a Mini Mall, where you can leave things you don't want and take things other people have left. The kids love the Mni Mall, and if they come with me to the dump they get to take home one small thing (it has to be approved by me). It's really interesting to see what they choose, and I like that they get some new object in their life but it's recycled.
I do, however, need to start insisting that we bring something to the Mini Mall each time.
