Trash disposal?

You could get one of those small 2-3-4 yard dumpsters?

They bring those in with a normal size truck.

I've never seen that.. every place I've ever lived the dumps were privately owned..

Not here with Waste Management in charge. Usually a trash company has a contract with a city to pick up trash. It's many times included in other charges ie: sewer - not a separate tax.

I live pretty rural and not many waste companies will come out here to pick up trash. Maybe it has something with them not going through the National Forest.

Waste management is the only company out here and they charge an arm and a leg for it. The 2 nearest landfills are both owned by them as well.
