onto Swee****er Road, which leads to the Calvert County dump/landfill.

We just finished "remodeling" a half bath and replaced a pedestal sink
and a toilet. The handyman we hired wanted the sink, so we loaded the
old toilet and various bits of old wood trim, packing materials, and a
pallet into my SUV.

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.

We can haul up to 100 kilograms without charge but after that ...they go by the ton or part of. Our city trash dump won't take construction trash unless it's small amounts tied up pretty with a nice bow...we have to haul it to a commercial dump where you are weighed coming and going, paying for the diff.
