Options for trash disposal
We have weekly pickup at our primary residence and are realizing most towns around lakes region don't have trash pickup. What do people do with their trash if you don't own a truck? Any suggestions for how to transport it or options for pickup that don't involve leaving barrel at curb all week?

trash
On LI in Moultonboro I have a trash pickup service who pick up trash right from my garage AND doubles as our house watch person while we're in FL. Thanks Barbara!

Do you use a bin or something in car to prevent bag from tipping or do you double bag it or just only fill bags say 75% so they close completely? I have a hatchback so I'm trying to think how to prevent having a bag eventually rip or tip and leak in the car.

That is a great idea! We would prefer southern side of the lake but this is a pro to consider for Moultonboro.

Liquid runs downhill, after all...happy dumping! Another option is to install a liner in the hatch back floor area. Weather Tech has nice ones that are made specifically for your vehicle. Any leakage and the liner pops out for hosing off the nasty juice in your driveway. |

Get a weather tech trunk liner... if you do have anything that leaks no big deal it will protect your carpet and easy to pull out and wash as needed.

If your car has a hitch, you can get a cargo tray/frame. This will keep smells and leaks out of your car. You use rope, bungees, a spider or straps to secure the load. I have seen them with short side making them into a box.
Good luck! |

Thank you all these are good suggestions! I have had enough incidents with carrying trash from inside barrel to outside barrel to know better than to just throw the bag into back of my car. Floor mats and contractor bags are both very good ideas. I don't think we can add trailer hitch to either of our cars

A regular old tarp from Ocean State Job Lot does the trick for me.....way cheaper than weather tech! (down and out on the OSJL side of the lake!)

You'd be surprised what they can add a hitch to. U-Haul can do it but will attach their connector. Not a big deal since you can just splice regular 4-plug if you want one and they may drop the price for no wiring. A dealership probably has a 'factory' setup as well. I have had good luck with both ways.
You'd expect to spend $300-400 on this which would buy a lot of contractor bags! K |

I have had a home in moultonboro for 30 years and go to dump regularly. They are open 5 days a week ( closed wed and Thursday). You will learn the busy times but it becomes an event

If you recycle, you may not have as much in bags as you expect. We just use regular trash bags and double them up. Plastic, glass, and paper in cardboard boxes. It's pretty easy.

If you are in Meredith or Center Harbor, you can call Rich Brewer at 603-387-5245. He picks up trash and recycling once a week.
