...earlier this morning, just after I turned off of Route 4 South and
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.

$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

backwards.

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