True—I’m just responding under the context that OP would be by their lonesome in front of a judge.

Also, if you get in front of a judge that’ll waive your ticket, there’s not a single one that’ll remove the offense from your record, so your insurance company is gonna be prorating any money you might save on getting the fine waived by jacking up your premium because you demonstrated you’re a risk to insure.

Not a snowball’s chance in hell you’re getting it removed from your driving record; enjoy your higher insurance premium.

Yeah, y’all has become a lot less regionalized to the south over the past decade or so; and as a lifetime MA resident I’m always up for shortened words with as few consonant sounds as possible 😂

Reply to Someone at work tried telling there’s schools with litter boxes for students who identify as cats or furries. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of this? Buy first hand knowledge have you seen it yourself or at least a photo? I’m looking for someone to say I heard it from so and so. by lectrician7
Nah, obliquely anti-trans talking point created out of thin air by the Michigan GOP - Source (Snopes, w/references)
I say obliquely anti-trans because the originator of the lie made a point to say the imaginary litter boxes were for kids who identify as cats; real POS

Sorry, you’re totally right; blame my dumb post-work brain. Was more focused on OP’s desire to not pay for the pickup & got caught up in my experience moving otherwise cumbersome & difficult to dispose of waste.

Just pay like $25-$75 to rent a pickup from Hone Depot or a similar amount to grab a UHaul for the shortest allowed window (usually 2-3 hrs). The wife & I do that every year for spring cleaning to get awkward / large items to our county’s hard to manage waste facility since we both drive sedans. Works a charm. I’d recommend the UHaul route though as their rental process is entirely self-service via their app / website.
Edit: I don’t disagree with your solution to make it a public service, just wanted to provide a solution for your problem at hand. I’d definitely make plans to attend the next town meeting & propose that route if I were you.

Page 72 of this doc already shared above from the state spells it out clear as day, and trust me, you don’t want to deal with the kind of havoc that water hammer can create in a system.

A few years back someone managed to flip their car onto its roof on Essex St, near the intersection with Flint St.
Honestly I was kinda “impressed”; must’ve hit the curbs and bounced like a pinball with some reckless precision (it was a coupe so pretty small).
