Anyone have any tips on getting the most out of your dump runs? No pun intended.

Look in to what your local garbage collector will take in the recycle. I ended up getting a recycle dumpster. Not only can you put the common things in there but my garbage company allows fabric, shoes, video taps, dvds, plastic toys and a few other things I can't remember right now.
I keep a metal bin that I take to the recycler every few months.
Anything made out of wood (even pressed) that is not sellable goes on Craigslist for free. Usually get picked up in a day or two.
I donate things that are good but I don't want to sell to several local non-profits.
When you sort you end up with very few dump runs.

You have no idea of the self-control I am exercising at this very moment.

I didn't think you would be able to resist.

i used to do a lot of craigslist free adds
the dump runs i made id try and balance large stuff couches and mattresses and stuff with small heavy things like books and records to make their half ton minimum , but then ive was doing this out of a short boxed van a bigger vehicle and i wouldnt need to worry about such things

I donate what I can. Where I'm at I can dump for free.

I also can dump for free(mattresses, couches, pretty much anything that is not considered hazardous) and live I 5 mins from the dump. Most time it is easier for me to just dump it then to try to get someone to take it for free.

I've got a dumpster in our plaza where I regularly take dumps..

I'm not even going to go there. :D I mean, literally, I'm not going anywhere near that dumpster. Kidding of course.

Of course, my last statement was said tongue in cheek. But I really do throw most of my trash in there. If it fits, they take it. Mattresses fit, that's all I'm really concerned about. But even still, if you're a county resident, you dump free at the county dump site.
