I know too well that smell (gag gag gag). The samples would arrive after hours because it was so...um pungent. We could smell the truck when it pulled into the parking lot--it was that strong.<br /><br />Tonya @ My Cozy Little Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289024681312440621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-7754569451947556132013-11-04T00:07:42.713-06:002013-11-04T00:07:42.713-06:00Bone lorry?

Never knew what that meant but I'm guessing that had something to do with bones. YIKES again! Paper and metal would be fine, but I'm not sure I'd want to save bones. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-51363443683708395022013-11-04T00:06:20.274-06:002013-11-04T00:06:20.274-06:00Now that's an interesting idea as well, ballas...Now that's an interesting idea as well, ballast.

Thanks, I still keep finding images of them, not sure how many more I'll be able to post, I'm guessing someday I'll run out, ha. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-68379702313094656312013-11-04T00:02:53.621-06:002013-11-04T00:02:53.621-06:00They do look like they were on a mission huh?

Years ago I worked for a recycling firm; I drove a lorry and collected cardboard boxes from factories, hessian sacks from farms and paper from offices and shops. One of my colleagues drove 'the bone lorry' and collected bones from slaughterhouses to take to 'the Glue Factory'. Oooohhh the awful smell!!! So glad I never had to do that job!Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-85938020875421254052013-11-03T13:47:41.923-06:002013-11-03T13:47:41.923-06:00I thought glue at first, too. Then I realised I...I thought glue at first, too. Then I realised I'm not actually really sure if that's the part of the animal they used to use to make glue with. I wondered if they might have been used for ballast, too but I'm definitely clutching at straws with that one, I think. Love how the dog is doing its bit by also bringing a bone along. :)Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-92069280409243842312013-11-03T13:47:11.088-06:002013-11-03T13:47:11.088-06:00The Bones were for the Glue Factory.
