It’s a bit of a challenge on Palomar as we don’t have curb-side trash pick up at each property up here. Some part-timers take their trash back with them. Or those who work in the city have use of their work dumpster. Most people share dumpsters. You can have your own, of course, but Ramona Disposal is pretty proud of those dumpsters. Would you like to save some money by sharing a dumpster? Ask around or I can give you the contact info of a neighbor open to sharing.
What about that pile of stuff in the photo (not from Palomar)? When you have a lot of stuff to go away, Pala Transfer Station Disposal is our closest dump site. You don’t have a truck or trailer? Some folks have rented a UHaul trailer, loaded it up and haul it to Pala. Be sure to read their webpage of what they do and don’t accept, and info about their rates. Must pay in cash last time I checked.
We do have grants for occasional 40 yard dumpsters for use by the community with a donation, but they can fill up pretty fast.
Glad to get your questions answered.
