What do I do with thisstuff?

Simple tips to make your tripto the MRC easy

Sorting saves time and money

You’ll pay less when you sort out items like clean sheetrock,concrete and clean wood for recovery, rather than dumpingthem as unsorted Mixed Waste (See price list inside).

You’ll save time, too, when you pack your vehicle withunloading in mind. For instance, pack tires and appliances onthe bottom or at the front of your load, because you’ll unloadthese items last. You can pack mixed waste, electronics andbrush on the top or near the back of your load, because you’lldump these items first (See the map inside for details).
