There was and still is a radio program on Sat mornings on WDEV Waterbury, VT- WDEV: 550 kHz WDEV-FM: 96.1 MHz W243AT (FM) 96.5 MHz called Music to Go to the Dump By. :lol:

Re: Is there such a thing as a household tip?
 

I just had a great experience with ours. We had a dying tree that needed to be cut down and it was located not far from the street. Our neighbors suggested that it might be on city property and we should call to see, because in that case they would take it down for us. I called and talked to a nice gentleman in the public works department. They had an arborist come out to verify that the tree definitely needed to come down, and it was later cut down, the stump was ground and just yesterday the area was cleared, new seed was planted and straw was spread.

I was pretty impressed! So you never know.

I live in Calfornia and use Waste Management for trash pickup. We are allowed to call them once a year for a free pickup of up to 8 cubic yards of trash. In my area they do have some restrictions on what they will pick up and will not pick up construction materials. Check with you local service to determine if they have such pickups and what can be picked up.

If you don't have that service in your area, you will have to bring it to the local dump yourself. Call them to find out where your local dump is located.

Hi N1cky.. I know you want to do the right thing.. wood can be recycled!
Now, they'll charge you to take it. And then when you want the compost they've made out of it, they'll charge you again.

But, it keeps it out of the landfill, which is a good thing (methane).
Your city gov't website should have info on it, or look in the yellow pages for compost/recycling.

We get curbside pickup of small yard debris, but branches that are more than 3" diameter have to be bundled & tied outside the can.. this will be individual to each town of course.

Get up before dawn on trash day and make it look like all of your neighbors have torn down their pergolas as well.

Re: Is there such a thing as a household tip?
 

Looks like we can do this too

Yep, found on the website they will take it if bundled, so will try that with some of it this week.

:)Best idea so far;)
