Default Moving Trash

Sorry if this seems to be a dumb question, but what does everyone do with all of their moving trash (boxes, moving paper, etc)? Can we put this to the curb for pickup in the regular trash collection? Thank you.

Yes but need to break the boxes down flat, clear bags for recycling and black bags for the rest, trash service is very good here...

Be aware the recycle stuff is a separate pile from your normal trash. It's best to put trash on one side of your driveway, recycle on the other.

I worried myself to death with all my trash when we moved in last Nov but we put it out just as stated.. recycle one side of driveway.. trash on other and the guys picked it up with no problem.. It was a big deal each trash nite for at least a month !!!!

Default moving trash bags

People are always wanting boxes etc. Go on Freecycle.org. that keeps it out of the landfill. You can put any thing on and someone will want it. Remember this area outside the VILLAGES is poor. If you don't want to do that you can take everything to the Methodist Church they have dumpsters for papers and cardboard.

I can see offering it to someone else to use. But is there a reason for taking it to the Methodist church recycling when we have our own recycling in TV?
