Living in Texas we like to do things our way. To be honest one of the most annoying things is being told what we can and cannot do. But there are times when we just have to follow the rules. And one of those instances specifically is when you’re attempting to throw away a bunch of stuff that has been laying around for way too long. You may not realize it but there are some specific rules you must follow when throwing certain items away.

You’re probably thinking, it’s not that big of deal or I will throw away whatever I want but if you’re caught throwing things away in a Texas landfill that is not permitted you can end up getting a hefty fine. And that would be embarrassing to pay a fine because you threw away items that were not allowed.  

It Might Seem Silly, Just Follow the Rules 

We all learn at a very young age the difference between right and wrong and knowing when to do the right thing. This seems goofy to say out loud, but we need to act like adults and just make sure we dispose of things properly.
