I usually put stuff like that on the curb with a sign that says
"free". It's always gone by the next morning.

I put a for sale sign on stuff I want to get rid of.

Your trash guys won't haul that stuff away? They will take anything we
put on the curb. If the regular pickup guys can't handle it
(electronics or white goods), they tag it and a special pickup is
automatically scheduled.

In real life, things like metal can appliances will not last long
enough for the trash guy to see it. The scrappers take them.



We don't have a municipal trash guy. There's a handy county run trash
collection spot about five miles from here, and I take the household
trash there once a week. It doesn't accept construction trash or, in
particular, old toilets. It's a dumpster place.

The big dump/landfill is about five miles south of St. Leonard off Route 4.

We used to have a private trash company come by, and it started out at
$12 a week, but over 10 years or so it went up to $96 a month, at which
point I said "**** it" and decided to take our dry trash up to the local
dumpster facility, which is "free" to county residents.


When I was a kid I'd help my dad make the weekly Saturday morning run to
the "dump". There were always a small group of "dump pickers" waiting
for you to toss your stuff out so they could sort through it.

Our town has a modern day version of that. It has the normal compactors
and recycle areas but it also has a large space for putting stuff that
you don't want but still has a useful life. People are encouraged to
leave items for others to "shop" for. It's known as the "Duxbury Mall"
and is very popular, especially among young people looking to furnish an
apartment or their first house.

I would like to see that most everywhere.

$96 YIKES!
The only places around here without regular county pickup are on dirt
roads. They have dumpsters where the hard road ends. I am actually
very happy with our county services and my property taxes are less
than they were in PG county with no income tax, state or county.
My solid waste part of the tax bill is $158 a year and that includes
trash, horticulture, recycle and special pickups

It takes a lot of "fee" money to support the roving, rioting gangs in Baltimore.
