Not really a dumpster pic but I liked it.

Thank you to @mariannewest for organising the challenge!

I'm starting the timer now.

I've never experienced the smell of a dumpster. Should it be anything like the smell at the council dump site, then I'd be wretching!

I'm guessing that a dumpster is what we call a 'skip' in the UK. It's a transportable container you hire and fill with everything you want rid of. Some people go round the skips outside houses looking for items they could sell on eBay. That kind of skip doesn't have a smell. Neither do those that contain builder's rubble.

I guess I'd wear a peg on my nose if I had to examine a smelly dumpster.

Here is a link to the challenge.

A dumpster here is like a big garbage can put in commercial areas and apartment buildings. The big ones you call skip we have here too. And yes, it smells like a council dump site :)

Right, I learnt something there :) Thanks, Marianne.
