church recycling sale intake and set-up

Tonight I was at church from 7-9pm, helping set up for the recycling sale. What that means, in practical terms, is carrying a lot of boxes, bags, and loose items from the garden entrance to the correct rooms, and doing a fair bit of "it goes here because I SAY SO" sorting as you go.
It's hot, tiring work, and the church is not air conditioned. Blecch.
But I won't be in town during the actual sale this year -- my trip to Minnesota will neatly overlap it -- so I figured I should help out here since I can't work during the sale or the cleanup.
Also, I picked up two cheap plastic jumbo-sized flowerpots. They're both cracked in places, and the blue one is leaking dye near the rim, but I can get aluminum foil pie tins easily enough to serve as drip trays, and it's long past time for me to repot a couple of my houseplants in bigger habitats. (And that will free up two currently in-use pots into which I can put all my loose tendrils of Wandering Jew, which are currently floating in a large peanut jar and a drinking glass.)
