I live downtown and there are a few dumps I could go to that are close by but I usually just go to the landfill. Why? Haha. Why.
Some of the people that run the "traffic" into the actual dumping area are by far the lowest of low on the scale of life. I was actually told once "You can't dump that f---in' shit here" (ceiling tiles). I've seen these guys come close to throwing hands with the dumpee' for really stupid crap, like not backing up their truck to the dumpster in a straight line. I went to the one on Sisson street once (ONCE!) which is nothing more than a bunch of dumpsters in a parking lot; this old guy was trying, by himself, to throw a coffee table over the side of the dumpster which was about 10 feet high. The ass-holes that worked there just sat under a umbrella in the shade, watching. Yes I helped the old guy out.
The last 2 times I needed to throw stuff out I went to the one at the Southeast corner of the city. A couple of crackheads came out of the gutter, started throwing my junk into the dumpster, and then expected money. I thought this was a free service?
When you go to the landfill, its either dumpsters which are over a loading dock or to the landfill if its too big or building debris. I've never had a problem. If you have to use the landfill, make sure you're driving a truck. If you drive a car, it will never survive. read more
