How do you all dispose of rejects?
Comments (1)Leftover mix from a project--keep small plastic containers handy to make pot feet or soap/candy molds to make embellishments to mortar or embed in future projects. Hardened mix left in the bag--there is never hardened mix in the bag. Store your cement in 5 gallon plastic pails with lids. Never store your cement in the original bag on a dirt or concrete floor, it wicks the moisture from the floor. I use badly broken pieces along my creek embankment to help hold the soil. Someone broke up a damaged piece and used it like tile mosaic. Someone else broke it in small chunks and added it to their stone driveway. Can you patch your broken piece or add another outside layer to cover the break and change the appearance? Billie...See MoreHow do you dispose of garden chemicals?
Comments (5)can you still read the labels on the bottles? I would start there and see what you can find out. How big are the bottles? With small bottles or ones that don't seem to have much in them, I would probably simply place in the trash. With larger containers or stuff that seems to be really "toxic" I might phone the county or whoever takes care of the waste disposal in your area and find out when/where you can take stuff for disposal.

Comments (13)I have had such a huge amount of brush every year for 12 years of living on this property, that I burn every Spring (even though I HATE burning - it is hot, dirty, and a PITA). There was so much brush because this 1.25 acre lot was horribly overgrown with mostly invasive woody plants, including oriental bittersweet, both common and glossy buckthorn, honeysuckle, HUNDREDS of Norway maples, Rosa multiflora, etc. I have been working on removing invasives and preserving/planting natives since 2005. It is pretty well under control, except for the back 1/4 acre or so, which is mostly wild and still has some invasive overgrowth. In lieu of burning, I am planning to create wildlife brush piles in the way back. I have used a number of buckthorn and norway maple trunks to build a 20 foot trellis. Ctpnchr, I like the idea of brush fences!...See MoreHow do you dispose of tile and wood debris?
Comments (12)>>FWIW, I was told recently that construction waste and household discards go to different waste facilities, and shouldn't be mixed in a roll-off. IIRC, YMMV. This is true only if there are different landfills. The regulations are different for Construction Debris Landfills vs. general Sanitary Landfills which have more decomposable stuff and produce more leachate and landfill gas. So, again, check with your local waste disposal service. One thing you can sometimes do with concrete, masonry etc. is to offer it free as fill. Sometimes people need stuff to fill in a low spot or as erosion prevention on a slope, and this stuff is usually considered clean fill if not painted....See Moreyungman
