How do you throw away a garbage can?

[Printer Bandit]

put some rocks in it and dump it in a river/lake.

You have to buy a 55 gallon drum and dissolve that garbage can in acid to dispose of it properly, it is the only way to be sure no one will find it I mean get rid of it. :sneaky:

That is ridiculous. You would need 200 lbs of rocks.. yeah I just pulled that number out of my ass but..just google boat. Something about displacement of water.

You nuke it in space

Erm, this assumes the garbage can is closed and airtight.

No, it can be open like a canoe and only has to be water tight.

This thread is actually very timely. We just had our roll out bins delevered today and have to start using them 1st week of oct. our entire city is switching over to this new method of picking up garbage. But if we have too much you have to pay extra now..stupid.

So i have a question... How do you throw away a garbage can? LOL

Leave it in the front yard with a sign that says $10. It will be gone by morning.

I like the Breaking Bad method myself. Dissolution in acid.

Tying a plastic bag around the handle works for the garbage men in my area.

 

[nanette1985]

Put it up on Freecycle. Worked for me.

If I were a garbageman, I'd resist any efforts of people attempting to throw out their garbage cans, simply as a way to screw with people.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Put it on Craigslist.

Bah! Beat me to it. The guy who said that you should put up a sign that says "FREE" doesn't understand people.

Put a note or if you can, wait for the truck to arrive and throw it in yourself.

In this city everyone HAS to throw away their garbage cans now. They gave us all these stupid bins with wheels on them.

Communitists. PLUS we have to pay extra about $15 month PLUS if we can't fit all our crap in them like at christmas or whenever (Some people have lots of kids) we have pay even more extra to have bags picked up. And, if the bags are too heavy, they don't get picked up.

i thought all garbage cans are like that?

 

[waggy]

lol i made a post about this years ago. i bought new garbage cans and wanted them to take the old ones.

Even after writing "garbage please take can!" they didn't. finally he came while i was out working in the yard and asked him to take it.

i laughed about it every week. but the damn can had a hole in it and animals would get in and rip the bags out. lol

you have to get them? wow that sucks. We have the choice if we want the garbage cans like that (yeah at $15 a month. what a rip off!) or buy our own. we can have 15 cans or bags out a week.

They're saving the environment by making you throw out less trash. Well, ignoring all of the garbage cans that everyone had to throw away since they were useless anymore. But after that, I'm sure it will be great for the environment.

Yes, because a family of 4 and a single person living in a home should be expected to have the same maximum allowable amount of trash.

Right...

Well I have a truck and trailer, maybe I could make some money hauling.
