Overweight Sisters Turn Garbage Haul Into Weight Loss Venture
Iva Bennett and Dorothy Chase operate a garbage and rubbish pickup in Saranac Michigan earning money while shedding pounds. Starting last fall they weigh 175 to 159 pounds and 185 to 175 respectively. They handle yard work moving and cleaning with a truck backed by a husband mechanic and a grain elevator job. The sisters drive about 40 miles weekly and haul three loads daily to the Saranac dump as they charge a flat fee and accept extra work. The project keeps them active and outdoors.
