My township accepts construction debris as long as it's "homeowner generated" on the weekly bulk pickup day. We also have free electronics recycling once a month at the town hall.

Same. My little town has awesome garbage collection services, I'm assuming because they know we would all just burn everything and cause horrible town-wide infernos otherwise.

My city has a "waste transfer station" where any municipal trash customer (which is basically everybody unless you live in a building with 5 or more units) gets a number of vouchers to drop off garbage, including construction debris. They've even got a handy graphic of which U-Haul vehicles will fit the scale/facility, presumably because so many people are bringing rented vehicles.

We have to pay for garbage service here, but they'll also drop us off any size dumpster for $225, and then it's $125/ton.

Maybe not the cheapest option, but having a week to do it is certainly easier then loading and unloading a truck in a day!

That's cheap as hell. I need to rent a dumpster in a month and it's looking like close to $500 to have a 10yd roll-off dumpster in my driveway for a week.

The local garbage service has a legal monopoly on dumpsters in my town. I called them once to ask how much one would be, and I forget what the pricetag was but it was way too drat high. I told the support rep on the phone that I'd figure something else out and they got really huffy and said "if you get a dumpster from somewhere else, we'll find out. It's illegal."

(joke's on you, hiring a contractor to do a dump run is still perfectly legal, less work for me, and cheaper than your greedy-rear end dumpsters, jesus gently caress)

We called our grandmother’s garbage service to rent a dumpster when we were clearing out her place after she passed away, and they basically refused to even consider the idea. It was bizarre.

Doing regular dump runs for a while I learned that getting yelled at was part of the process. Maybe working at the dump sucks, and yelling at the dumpers makes it a little better

Where have you been able to watch it that actually shows the original episodes, instead of just the interstitials with all of the good parts where they sit around making fun of MTV's target audience and the musicians cut out because of rights issues?

Attaching the mount to the sewerage pipe was certainly a choice, but I'm more interested in the goddamn size of that hole.

Man I dunno. Around here it's $70/mo for trash pickup two times a month. The dump is free for residents so I said gently caress that, and just take my cans when they're full. I tell the shack dude I have household trash and recycling, get a nod, in and out in 10 minutes.

Gotta cut a hole to replace that section of pipe, and if you're cutting one big enough to work in you might as well cut back to the studs so you can screw down a drywall sheet to patch it instead of half-assing it.

Is that going to have triggered a stud finder? That's the only way I can think that that happened. Lol if it was smack bang in the center of a wall though, perfect place for a TV.

I've mounted two TVs and one was into plasterboard where it was a mix of screwing into a stud and using GripIts, the other is into a panel between some built in shelves that's 50mm MDF, which I later discovered had an additional batton behind it, presumably for this purpose, but in a completely stupid place.

Also (and I think I posted this before), previous owner had one of those "frame" TVs that sit completely flush and when it was fitted they couldn't make it fit over the sockets they'd put in, so they just...took the socket off and left the live wires dangling out with some terminator blocks. Now that I think about I have no idea where the Romex to that is actually running from.
