This is a cut and paste from an answer to another post. I liked it so much I started a new thread.

The Pellet Pigs will be running a collection of all expired pellets. So go to one of the Pellet Pig collection site and turn in your expired pellets. If your bags of pellets do not have the Pellet Pig Institute date stamp on them, they are expired. Turn them in for a voucher for a Junior Pellet Pig membership.

And no pictures of snow so you Haters, hush.

Thanks
Eric
 
I posted the info on the expired pellet drop off location in the other thread....

And BTW, I'm a snow Hater, and I will be heard! LOL

But seriously, I'm not against snow, just against any snow anywhere near ME. >:-(
 
Sector 7 Pellet Pig Collection Zone Upper Delaware Valley will be open all day Sunday for drop offs. Please come between football games or during halftime. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. Regards, BadDad320 / Sector 7 collection site commissioner.
 
And if you need one in Connecticut..............

I know where you can find one.........just send me a PM. ;-P

If you need a collection site in So Eastern MA, I will volunteer
to take them off your hands ;-)

Uhm........excuse me.

I live off 84...........10 minutes from 91 and not much more to 15.

You win on 95 though............LOLOL

But I do have a trailer and a big Jeep so I can make arrangements to go get them..........we could share!!

Oh, this is fresh. I'm beginning to sound like a Pellet Pig!!! :roll:

I said this before and I will say it again.

I like cats, they taste like chicken.

I'll take care of upstate NY. One ton truck and 5 ton Bri-Mar dump trailer ready to pick up if needed. Hey, never know....maybe I'll need more than the 5 tons I have in the barn currently................
 
I've got 6 tons of pellets and I suspect they may be from last season, and therefore not usable. Any advice from the Pellet Pig board? Obviously, I need to work out a trade here, if someone is kind enough to take my 6 tons off my hands.
 
There will be no discussion about cats tasting like chicken or anything remotely connected about that at all.

That's just wrong!!!! LOL

Well...you see...if they're expired...I'd actually be doing you a favor by letting you drop 'em off...but tell you what...
Seein' as you'd be doin' the right thing and all, I'd be more than happy to help you load 'em onto my truck, and I'd even buy you a margarita at that place in downtown Concord...the old jail?

;)
 
I bet most dropped off will be Athens, Maine Wood pellets.
 
Notice all those drop off sites are in MA, OH, NY, NJ, CT. All these sites are much too cold. Too much of chance that you will run into more snow getting your pellets even wetter. Please drop off at Littlestown, PA. Enjoy the warmth while you drop off at our site, Free six-pack with every ton of expired pellets. Plus, down here I can make more money shipping back up to the folks up north. :p

Well, if you're going to be so kind as to help me load those pellets onto your truck, the margaritas are on me! Serously, what kind of world would this be without the kindness of strangers such as yourself?

On a different note - I still call the old jail "Tio Juan's" even though it's now Margarita's. Most of the youngins don't even know that it was a real jail - they think it's marketing schtick to have tables in iron-barred cells.

The question is did you have meals in their when it was an active jail?????

Eric
 
Ha, nope. It was a jail until the 60's or maybe even the 70's, I think. I was nary a glimmer in my daddy's eye at that point, so have only enjoyed the ambience of Mexican-like food in a lovely, candle-lit jail cell and not actual criminal detention. I understand the ambience was considerably less pleasant in its original use as a jail. It is a pretty cool layout for a restaurant.
 
It sounds like the Pellet Pigs may be engaged in practices that could run afoul of the Expired Pellet Interstate Transport Commission. As we all know, wood pellet fuel that has passed it's expiration date may contain compounds that are endangering the life cycle of the Teensy Gnat.

The Teensy Gnat is a beautiful creature that is rapidly disappearing from sight all over North America. In order to safeguard it's existence, any and all loads of expired wood pellets crossing state lines are required to have a percentage of each load inspected to ensure none of these harmful compounds are present.

By decree, 10% of any such loads are required to be submitted for inspection. The pellets must be sent freight prepaid to the Expired Pellet Interstate Transport Commission headquarters, located in rural Northern California.

Since detection of these compounds requires destructive testing, the pellets will not be returned, but a voucher will be issued which covers the cost of the inspection fee. If the testing discloses there are no harmful compounds present, an Interstate transport permit will be issued within 12 months.

If the test sample does not pass inspection, the remainder of the load must be disposed of locally and as efficiently as time permits. It is suggested that the pellets be disposed of by burning during such times as the Teensy Gnat is not actively reproducing (i.e., when it's cold).
 
Ok wilbilt, I don't want to break any pellet transportation rules and end up in the previous mentioned jail. You can have all the expired pellets I have collected so far. Darn gnats!

Only 10% is required for inspection...besides, didn't I read that jail serves Margaritas? %-P

Yes, they happen every day. Some of them grow quite large. I have heard they can be seen from Outer Space.

Sources tell me that the Obama coins haven't been minted yet. Something about a mixup in uncounted absentee votes.

The McCain coins are going fast at the discounted price, though. They are a great value. At the current exchange rate, 1 McCain is worth 5 (not yet available) Obamas, although trading cannot commence until The Big O takes office.
