Visiting the dump

there is always a time during the project when dumpster placement becomes a problem.  Right now the garage is under construction so the rear isn't an option.  The front yard was just being prepped for sidewalk so it also wasn't an option to store a bin.  

You can store a bin in the street but that tends to attract a lot of dumping from people in the area.  There is a good chance your new empty bin will be a target for nasty couches and junk of any description.  It is also in the way of deliveries and parking. with fees for tipping waste being so high I'm currently not going to do that until we can find a lidded bin, or set something up in a garage once the door is on  

So for now I'm back to mobile dumping courtesy of my truck. you can get a lot of junk in one truck if you recycle all the cardboard first.  At this point in the project I've likely done five large cardboard loads to the local recycle depot. The main rule of bin management is no cardboard in the bin. That results in just paying to ship air to the dump which is a huge waste of money.  Another option I have been resisting is buying my own dump trailer. As soon as I do this I'm sentencing myself to a lifetime of dump runs and I'd rather not.
