looking at.

We have concrete paver stones and miscellaneous debris (metal bifold doors, wood pallets, etc) outside. Not a lot of debris, but what is out there is heavy.

Does whoever does your waste collection have a bulk trash/construction debris service? -- nm - prayformojo May 23, 19:09 4
- From what I found online, bulk pickup was cancelled in our town a while back. - kelly May 23, 19:13 3
  - really? wow. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 19:19
  - I thought old refrigerators just went on the porch in your neck of the woods? - spamlet (iPhone) May 23, 19:14 1
    - you're not too far off! - kelly May 23, 19:16
join local freecycle, start offering stuff - zeitgeist May 23, 18:40 8
- We want trash gone; not to be a yard sale. - Will Hunting May 23, 18:48 7
  - there are people who want it, will take it off your hands, a pick up truck full at a landfill can cost $40-80 bucks, then add in labor, a dumpster can - zeitgeist May 23, 18:57 4
    - dump fee at the county dump {for a covered load) is $5 here. -- nm - landbeck May 23, 19:08 2
      - our county has to ship our shit to idaho, so its expensive -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 22:29
      - Pretty sure our dump charges by weight. -- nm - kelly May 23, 19:46
    - *IF* Will and Kelly are on good terms with neighbors, go in together on the cost of a container. - TWuG May 23, 19:01
  - Are the patio blocks in good enough shape to be reused? If so, look for a charitable group that might be able to use them. Habitat for Humanity - TWuG May 23, 18:56 1
    - I doubt it...they were pretty old, not in horrible shape but not great either. -- nm - kelly May 23, 19:12

- Heh; nah, we got a lot of patio stone that was left over from last year's remodel. - Will Hunting May 23, 18:51
I've only used one for a small load; but my advice is to check Yelp for reviews, if they're well-used in your area, and make a bunch of calls. - b. May 23, 17:56 5
- Heh. That's who I just made an appointment with. - kelly May 23, 17:57 4
  - they may be ok - they're franchises and had great reviews in some areas but not others. - b. May 23, 18:01 3
    - Oh, they have a minimum volume? That's good to know. We don't have *that* much out there. - kelly May 23, 18:04 2
      - oh, just call your trash collector company and ask them about an extra large pickup, they should have a routine -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 18:41
      - they have a minimum volume level - so they'll take, like, a single chair, but you may have to pay for more space. I was able to look online and they - b. May 23, 18:19
