Trash or Treasure?

Funny thing, one of our biggest problems so far is in finding a way to dispose of the construction debris. The wood we can burn in the back yard. But our trash company wont pick up tile, drywall and other debris. Not to mention the rusty 4 foot x 4 foot heavy metal school lockers that were in the work shed.We were going to rent a dumpster, but that cost 600.00. Everyone we talked to suggested taking the stuff to the landfill ourselves. They only charge 27.00 a truckload. But, I think when they say truck load, they mean pick up truck. not uhaul. We would tow it ourselves on a rented low boy, but I don't have a hitch on the back of my Jeep. I think we may have to break it up and hide it in with our regular trash. haha. Lesson #7-know in advance how you are going to dispose of demolition debris.

Tip: Craig's List and yard sales are a great way to dispose of a lot of unwanted items.

I listed the metal lockers on Craig's List and by the end of the day had 3 replies. The next morning they were gone. I imagine this will also work well with toilets, tubs, cabinets, etc. Just be careful for the scammers. There are quite a few on Craig's List
