I was like, man, that's a business idea.
I said, dump that stuff here.
So they dumped it and I composted it.
And I had a crazy, incredible garden.
Squash, beans, strawberries, tomatoes, of course.
And I fed the church, the neighborhood, everybody come by the house.
I had friends and enemies.
I gave them a sack of tomatoes.
Well, fast forward, I went to college, six years of undergraduate studies at the University of Tennessee.
I thoroughly enjoyed my college career, six years of studies.
I didn't drink or smoke pot and it still took me six years.
Ended up agreeing to technological adult education.
I was certified to teach shop, took a few art classes, and apparently I got an art certification, I think, on my certificate, I believe.
But anyway, so I can weld and fix motors, and I can burn your house down if you need it wired.
I can't do that very well.
But in all the other machine shop stuff, I can do that, or I could at the time.
So I came up with this idea of taking all the city's yard waste, and I presented it to then the city mayor.
I said, what are y'all doing with it?
I said, we take it to the landfill.
And they could pay me a reduced fee of what they take it to the landfill.
