Just curious on how many trash runs you have had to make on this unit?
Why it's just like the two TV shows....no dump runs ! But actually, if I had loaded my van with the trash it would have been 2.5 to 3 loads. As it happens, I got rid of the trash in the following manner.
1) The prop mgr at the facility let me use theirs for smaller stuff which I poured out of boxes rather than throw the
whole box in...makes for a "tighter" dump load. This I did 3 times for maybe 8 boxes.
2) The prop mgr at my main storage facility (where I have had a unit for almost 8 years) lets me do the same thing
on a regular basis. I dumped maybe 4 boxes there.
3) I paid a guy $10 to take 3 mattresses on top of the load he had in a big trailer. This would have been the biggest
item I had to get rid of.
4) Finally, I had the ratty, cheap footlocker, an old antique chair beyond salavage and some other "bulky" stuff....they
went "clandestine" style over the top of a 40 yard dumpster 1 block away at a construction site where mostly the
cardboard rolls from thousands of yards of carpeting were being dumped.

Other stuff that I didn't want to sell went by the box load to nearby Goodwill, and one load of those boxes was sold to
one of the guys I help out by selling to cheap. It was 6 boxes for $20...he might sell all that for $80 or so and we are both happy.
More work perhaps (negotiating, figuring out, etc) than going to the dump, but it saved me maybe $75 for three loads, and the gas. The time involved would have been about the same amount using any technique.
