I'm Trashy

[smoterh.livejournal.com]

I'm doing some remodeling in my house and have generated a sizable load of debris. I put it in black plastic bags and this morning hauled it to the curb as in my past expierience I've seen everything being hauled away by Somerville trash people. However, it wasn't picked up and I was left a note that construction debris will not be picked up. Period.

The city website however says, that if you have a construction permit, the city will haul your trash.  If not, you have to get a private contractor. I, of course, don't have such permit, but still would like to get rid of the trash.  My Questions:

1. Is there a city dump where I can take this stuff. In other towns where I lived there was a city dump, you'd take your trash there, they'd weigh your car, and you'd pay per pound.

2. If not, are there private companies that will haul trash away. I don't need a dumpster, I just have about 7 construction bags worth of tile and dry wall.

If you can be there when the garbage (wo)men show up, a couple of 20s will likely convince them to take it. My former landlords got rid of _much_ more construction debris than this and never for more than $20 at a time. Though that was about 5-7 years ago. I don't know if the "rates" have changed since then.
