I got a call back from the Indy organizer. The event is for the benefit of
residents of Indianapolis only and does not include commercial enterprises.
Since we are not residents of Indy and the organizers consider FGM a
commercial enterprise, we cannot participate.

Report - 12/16/2008)
I called the City of Indianapolis regarding the recycling drop-off event
Jan. 10, 2009. The contact person was not in so I left a voice message.
At this point, I assume we would get no fee for our material if the
event organizers allow us to drop-off a good sized shipment.
There is a dock door at the warehouse although access to it is not
always available.
A semi-trailer holds 26 skids on the floor which is close to the total
number of skids we have in our racks. Our actual shipment would be much
smaller so I doubt we would need a tractor/trailer. Does this make sense?
