Not to discount the head for help with heavy trash pickup, but if you have piles and piles of trash in your yard due to the flood, maybe — JUST MAYBE — you can go and arrange to have it thrown out yourself?
.
For the last several years I’ve had to get rid of huge amounts of trash. It involves paying someone to come get it. Or renting a roll off container. Or loading up a trailer and taking it to the dump.
.
I realize everyone wants to wait because the government promised to take it for free, but they’re (understandably) backed up. So if you’re sick of looking at that giant pile, do something about it.
