Why does someone have to be there? To prevent some dumpster thief from coming by and stealing it?
I'll guarantee, someone comes by and says they're taking a 30' dumpster and they have the truck to do it, it's theirs. I'm not stopping them.

Re: Notes on LED upgrades for flashlights
As easy as changing a lightbulb.
The one module for the mini-mag light is slightly fussy, since it's a bi-pin bulb. If you plug it in one way and it doesn't work, pull it out, flip it around and plug it back in.

Notes on LED upgrades for flashlights
New LED flashlights that are everywhere now are generally awesome; good ones are almost indestructible and intensely bright. But every one of us has older lights around, from the 2 "D" cells cans to different work lights. You can upgrade those. May cost a couple more bucks but in the long ...
