Put it in bin liners and call it trash. They don't care what's in the bags, they just want to know what part of the lot to send you to.

It's been a few years but I got rejected multiple times from the Sisson St dropoff for all of the "construction material" in a few black bags in my sedan. They had me pop the trunk and felt them/looked in them and then handed me a flyer about going to Quarantine Rd.

Quarantine Rd has been pretty great in my limited experience, though. If you're not driving a truck they don't seem to care about doing weigh-in/weigh-out and charging per weight, and you can take concrete and everything.

Huh. I've never gotten that kind of scrutiny, and pre-pandemic the reason I'd just call the 1-2 bags I'd bring in 'trash' was that the rule on debris was so arbitrary/unpredictable. And any time I've done something that would generate more than 1-2 small bin liners, I'd just call a hauler. I do wish there were some clear rule/fee structure for DIYer residents though.

This is true. Shame when you got folk trying to play by the rules.

In my experience they will check and if they see even a hint of building materials then kiss the free dump lane goodbye
