Steps I took to Clean the dump up:

First I dug around a little and brainstormed how I would dig up and transport all this trash out of here. Which would include dragging it 75 ft through the woods and across a creek. I decided to use a wheelbarrow to transport the junk through the woods and built a skinny bridge over the creek to go over it. From there I would load it all onto a trailer, that I can then pull up the hill with our Ford Tractor. The next step was to get the right clothes on which includes a long sleeve shirt, pants, and of course tough work gloves. So after I was ready to go I seperated and counted the different types of trash. I began loading up the wheelbarrow and took my first load to the trailer. After I cleaned it all up I took my full trailer and I pulled it up the hill with the tractor. From there I seperated what could be recycled and what could not. I bagged the trash that could not be recycled, and had it taken by the garbage men. The items that could be recycled such as glass, and aluminum, I placed in the recycling container and it was taken away to be recycled. The battery I found I took to Ace Hardware to get recycled.
