It's actually true--the Dempster Brothers came up with the name. I'd like to find one of their original trucks on ebay to help me dump some of my reels. BTW, who knew that Knoxville was America's first "Dumpster City?" Makes you wonder which was second.

Hey Steve, when you get ready to dump your reels, I'm your huckleberry.

It may be better to sort and recycle here?
