What to do with old toilet?
 
We had new flooring put in the master bathroom and had a new toilet put in at that time. The flooring guys did a fine job taking out the old toilet and putting in the new one but they wouldn't take the old toilet. I left it out with the trash pickup and they wouldn't take it either. I took it to the landfill in Lake County and they wouldn't take it either. How do you get rid of old toilets?

Put it in your front yard with a sign saying "For Sale". It will disappear by the next morning.

I put mine out with the regular garbage and they took it. Maybe call waste management? A little hint also...........if you have a crapload of garbage it helps if you tip the guys..they really like that

Bash it apart with a hammer. Put some out each trash day in a bag. It'll be gone in no time.

In our NJ town, they won't take anything extra at all. Using this same method, I disposed of beds, box springs, a recliner, a couch bed, etc. The key was just making the bits small enough. Lots of use of bolt cutters, hammer, knives, etc.

We called Bulk Pickup. They agreed to take it. 352-748-0109.

Don't leave us all with a cliffhanger.
When you finally do something, let us know what you did!

We listed our old toilets on Facebook and we sold them to a gentleman who was renovating an older house. We sold them for $25 I think.

I would put it outside with a sign saying free.

Put it out in front of the house with the lid open and a sign saying “head office”!

Call the sanitation office and schedule a pickup. It works.
