Our community started a dumpster program two years ago. One Saturday in the Spring and Fall, the county drops off two construction dumpsters at the community center with several volunteers to help unload the junk from your vehicles. It's been pretty successful. This year they also brought in a company that provides a shredder truck for people to get rid of old papers with personal information they wouldn't want to put in recycling or the landfill. This is the DC area so shredding is pretty common. LOL.

There were (are) some complaints about pickers coming through the neighborhoods on the days leading up to the pick-up, but most people say "take it!" And more power to them if they are industrious enough to drive around and take things they might sell or use. It's a great city service.
