Toxic turkey warning

IMG_1697-copyright-nathan-lau One year I saved all the Thanksgiving turkey parts for a turkey soup.  I cooked up the mix and put it in a large plastic container in a freezer.

Months later I defrosted a cup to taste it and didn't like the taste.  So I threw the whole container in the trash.  The garbage men took it out of the trash and left a note saying that it was toxic waste.

Toxic waste goes to a special place at the San Francisco city dump.  Which is where I took it.

The toxic handlers told me to stay in the car and open the trunk.  They were wearing hazmat suits as they do all the time.  They looked at my plastic container then came to the driver's window and asked what was in the plastic container.  I told them.  They refused to take it because it was 'organic waste' of unknown composition.

So I drove home to think about it. Solution:  I dug a hole in my back yard far from healthy trees and bushes, deep enough to keep out animals, and poured it in my new toxic waste hole.

Know about latest hazardous materials transportation regulations, hazmat shipping, hazardous materials, hazardous material shipping defined and regulated by DOT and about latest classification system for Hazardous materials.

Interesting... If it was liquid enough, or the pieces small enough, you probably could have just flushed it down the toilet.

I'd say you are making this up, but I know you too well!

Lol, next time tell the hazmat fellas there's nothing "organic" about ConAgra Butterball turkeys!

Only in America :-) -- that's hysterical!
