As Long as
 
we are talking about trash pick up. Any body know where I can dispose of two old golf cart tires with wheels. The garbage guys won't pick them up. They would make great boat fenders.

I live in Marion county. I am going to put mine out but am going to skip the newspapers. That way I only have to lug one bag back in if hey do not show.

If there is nothing wrong with them, you can usually put them by the curb and someone will come along and take them for spares.

However, the ones I have don't hold air so I an taking them to the dump in Weirsdale off rt 42 (Marion county) once I clean the garage and get all of the other junk I want to get rid of lined up.

Go south on Rolling Acres Road from CR466. There is a transfer station on the left about a mile. I believe they are only open on Tues & Thursdays. They take old TV,etc.

Thanks for the relpies and the website. The reason I asked was that not all holidays are created equal and at our house in Virginia we had "behind the house" pickup. We never had to worry what day it was. I just got picked up. But, the house before that we had to put it out to the curb on Mondays. Since lots of holidays are on Mondays, it was a crapshoot as to which they would observe. Anyway thanks.

Trash Pick up in Marion County Today
 
I put my garbage bag out and the truck picked it up at 6:15. I looked up and down the street and only about four of us had put stuff out.

At 6:30, the recycling truck came through.

FYI: The Daily Sun did not say anything about not having trash pick up in Marion and Sumter counties. Only Lake had the restriction.

All bets are off! - No matter what you see in writing, someone will turn it around on you. The garbage truck picked up our street at 8 am and I missed it!

So Much for Dist.Gov
 
Like others, I looked up the "schedule" there....even printed it for future reference. It will now be referenced in the trash. They were here at 5:15 and 5:30 this morning.
