I got word from my friends George and Roline Norval that there is a tip in the Western suburbs of
PE that is worth a visit.
The Norvals enjoy my crazy garden and have brought a number of friends around to see what I pick up on the streets or in welfare shops that get special places in my garden.
So off I went taking Kia with. We traveled far on the Kabega Road and saw a municipal sign near Hunters Retreat Hotel saying "transfer station". I could not believe my eyes... old school desks painted in bright colours, vases and large dolls everywhere...

| The man in charge! |
I met the "real" person in charge. A well-tanned, friendly man in his early 40's who wants to be known only as "Apie". The dumpsite was a hive of actvity with bakkie after bakkie depositing a load of garden refuse. Apie's wife is in charge of the traffic control.
| Apie makes flower beds and plants in the containers that people dump at the site. He is up early and says he waters the plants from 5 am. |
