Super glue the dollar bills to his shirt.
Or better yet, tell the men/man that his shirt is quite wrinkled and that you'll go and iron it for him. But instead you'll be super gluing all those dollar bills on it.

Cans of old paint and varnish, old electronics (CRT TVs, VCRs), VHS tapes, microwave ovens, old cans of pesticides.

Deb, here at least they take old paint at some of the bigger hardware stores. mix em up to make new paint I think.
Old electronics can be taken to Staples or Best Buy for electronics.

If you think I'm tight, you should deal with garage sale customers. They haggle over 25 cents.

Yes, but they do not post their haggling on the internet.

You never know unless you read on those sites. They sure do love to brag in person.

We've been talking about this house and the hoard and the old paint cans, et al for almost 7 years now! Can you believe it?

Guess I never asked or thought about it, just put that stuff in with the rest of it... Nobody ever says anything. Is disposal of small quantities of such things restricted?
Black garbage bags can help.
Years ago I was helping a cousin in New Orleans remodel his house. I hauled the debris to a local incinerator, the sign said something like burnable material only. But a $5 bill was all it took to get anything accepted. Course that was New Orleans...

Our Sherwin-Williams does not take old cans of paint. I just called ~ out of curiosity. She stated that they tell their customers to take them to the 'City'.
Solid Waste Management, that is.
Solid Waste Management, that is. I have no clue where this is at. But, a phone call can get me all of the info I need, I'm sure.
Terrible advice --- It's against the law, and they can prosecute when people knowingly do things like that.

Maybe, but I just checked my city's waste management website. Lots of info on restrictions for what can be recycled, but nothing on what I can't put in the trash can... I know for hazardous waste regulations there are small quantity generator exceptions...
Waste management has come a ways these days
More management than just burying
Lots of sorting and such

The trash service won't even take the restricted items I mentioned on community clean-up day. I even tried giving them away and no takers. I did a search for hazardous waste disposal and I'd have to travel a long way and pay a lot of money to do it.
