Garbage removal, specifically food-ish garbage removal

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

When I first moved into my house there was an industrial size drum of liquid malt extract in the basement. Over the past decade or so, it's sat there, starting to rust, and I really want to get rid of it. I think that because it's food stuff, it may have different rules applying to it. Thoughts?

I also have over a decade's worth of various crap, including odd scraps of wood from projects, screens & storms from windows that have been replaced, etc. I know I can get a dumpster, but are there people who will come and clear all this crap out for me? If the price differential isn't that great, it may be worthwhile for me to hire someone to take care of it for me.

Mods - I tried the garbage tag & it didn't lead me to anything relevant, if there's another tag I should check, let me know.

The malt extract you could probably scoop and pour down the drain. The odds and ends you could box or bag and set out with the trash maybe one trash-bag-worth per week.

But if you can find someone to take it all in one go, that would be better, as they're likelier to feed the refuse into an operation that will recycle what can be recycled.
