[RE-wrenches] Aqueon disposal

[Bradley Bassett]

I was lucky that my local county Hazo-house took a look at the MSDS and
said drop them off. The person there saw my big MSDS printout and said uh
oh, but then she knew just where to look and said fine no problem drop them
off. Too bad not everyone is that knowledgeable about what they are looking
at.

These are so much easier to move when you take them apart too. 30 lbs cell
blocks. Then you have some interesting parts to do something with. Attached
is a photo of my Super Aquion Gravel Tamper tool.  Some of the other
aluminum parts will get incorporated into one of my homemade telescopes.
