At The Xfer Station
Part of our “why we love Sierra County” series.
Note: It pains us to have to disclaim that this is not a true representation of the operations of Sierra County Solid waste, which is above reproach. It’s a rendition of cultural chit chat between local boys. Nothing in this piece can be constrained by truth.
