    They don’t have a dumpster on the property somewhere you can throw it in? I’m mean sometimes it’s just easier to let difficult people be difficult if you’re never going to see them again anyway. “Fine, whatever. I’ll get rid of it.” But some people just love to challenge everything and turn it into a p**sing contest. Waste of energy so I don’t recommend that.

    They must. It's a warehouse and those produce ridiculous amounts of garbage.

    I'd throw it in their dumpster on my way to the guard shack.

    Their dumpster seems to be in the same limbo zone as a 7-11 bathroom.

    I remember picking up empty trailers at UPS docks and lots of broken pallets and shrink wrap all over.

    Do they just keep shoving it all to the nose and loading it anyway?

    Back in the pallet exchange days, you would bring in a load on 22 #1 oak 40x48's and leave with 22 #3's that wouldn't even start a decent campfire. Then the pallet dump would want to charge you to take them instead of buying them from you.
