Jesus! I could stuff a hog's carcass in my overflowing can and they would just dump it and go. They mainly seem to care about car batteries and tires, everything else, fuck it, send it.

We have two competing garbage companies, and they do indeed compete. Score one for capitalism working as intended. OTOH, that's a lot of wasted gas running by my house several times a week.

I'm with the "cool" company. The CEO shoots straight when he emails us. "Those other assholes are cheating! Here's what went down at the city council meeting (with proof). Can you believe this shit?!"

I don't think mine even care about car batteries and tires. If the truck arm can lift it, in it goes. I feel bad for saying it, but I've thrown random stuff in there, like rocks and broken down furniture because I was too lazy to make a dump run. Still haven't seen them ever reject anything.
