Yeah, what they said. In my experience (with the bigger container) you
have to find a way to fit it in the container, even if it means
holding onto it for a while. When we moved into our house, it took us
a couple months to get rid of all the stuff that the previous
residents left behind plus all the non-recyclable packing materials
and other move-related junk.
