Trash Options?
 

If I need to leave town on a non-trash day, is there a public dumpster in TV where I can off load bagged trash?

I don't want to put it out early as a courtesy to my neighbors and when the non-courteous do so, wildlife always seems to get a hold of it.

Excellent question. I am hoping for some good answers.

A small amount................postal station.

A bag or two...........ask & take to neighbor.

We always take to a neighbor to take care of the trash, I help them, they help me.

I’ve done the postal station a couple of times. But only a grocery store plastic bag size. We plan it so we don’t have much trash. If we are a few days after trash day we use that as an excuse to eat out and not generate any trash.

yup, that's what we do.

Plus, putting the trash in the postal station can covers up the dog poop : )

We leave it in the garage. Neighbor comes over on trash day and puts it at the curb. We have four or five neighbors that we all do this for.

There's always a dumpster next to a rec center. All ends up in the same place.

When going out of town, I take my trash bags to the big dumpster at my Rec center (not going to mention the name) as I don't want it at left at the curb and critters ripping open the bags.The dumpster is enclosed and unlocked and I always see other garbage bags in it, so I believe it's ok. And there's always ample room in the dumpster.

Same... We often drive north at 0:dark 30, and when we've dropped off a bag of trash, we've often seen one of the Community Watch cars in the parking lot. I asked if it was okay, and they told me it was fine...

Our neighbors put their trash in a big rubbermaid trash can just inside their carport, and we roll it out to the end of their driveway the night before trash day. We roll it back empty at the end of that day.

We roll our own out once a month or so, when we weed the garden beds and trim the shrubs and what not, or if we have stinky food (like a chicken carcass and shrimp tails) that we don't want to sit in the kitchen trash bin. The trash guys haven't ever complained. But we put the big bag in the garbage can, and tie the bag, and the trash guy can just tip the can over the back of his truck and the bag slides right out, sealed and tidy.

i'm always happy to put out trash for a traveling friend. maybe ask someone in your area?

It's true, the trash guys are very good, helpful, professional workers. they get xtra $$ @ Christmastime!

I don't think there is anything that is designated as a "public" dumpster. Typically, dumpsters are privately owned and someone is paying a monthly rental and service fee to use them.

We've not known of one and travel often been here a long time. We've always had to impose on a neighbor and then reciprocated of course. Have noticed (it's very obvious) that the AB&B places (not talking about long term renters, or seasonal folks) just put trash out any day of the week and leave, those places, three in our neighborhood and large homes they are, always have bags of trash no matter if they are there one night, 2, or a long weekend, might be the owners have told them the MUST not leave trash in the home ?
