I had a similar experience. I had some low-level “hazardous waste” and my town was collecting it. The process was slow, they made me feel like a criminal (?????) and it cost me an arm and a leg. Horrible little Nazi bureaucrats.
I just slip the stuff into the trash now. Screw ‘em.
“I just slip the stuff into the trash now. Screw ‘em.”
As do I now.
I used to do the right thing, but once they started charging me a fee to do it at the taxpayer funded county site...I gave up. I figured my $5000 in annual property taxes was enough.
Now, all of that stuff goes in the regular rollout bin; carried to the central household garbage dump by city trucks; unloaded in the debris field along with the other uncaring “customer’s” forbidden items (sheetrock, cement blocks, defunct electric motors) plus tons of “loaded” baby diapers, glass bottles and aluminum cans; bulldozed into layers across the mega-acreage site...and will eventually be covered over with a thick layer of rich dirt and converted to a golf course. (It’s already been done here with a previous garbage dump.)
I’ve even been known to get rid of excess dirt and nuisance rocks in the same fashion.
