Default Old bathroom toilets

Hello, looking for some
Information. Would anyone know if there is a free drop-off location to dispose of toilets that have been replaced in a Villa here in The Villages? I know the regular garbage pick-up will not take them and I’m just looking at options other than having to pay someone to come pick it up. I also realize that paying a company to pick it up could be the only option we have - looking to see if anyone would know. Thank you.

Can't speak for here, but up north I would take a hammer and break them into smaller pieces. Then I would throw the pieces away in regular trash bags over a course of weeks.

One piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime.

Call trash company for special pick up, $10.

I’ve disposed of 12 toilets here. I remove the tank from the bowl and place them for regular trash day(s). Never had an issue where they didn’t take them. YMMV

We tried that last night, had the tank off of the base, the cover to the tank in a separate box and they left everything there. They even took the tank cover out of the small box, took the box but left the ceramic cover behind! That is not happening. 😂

I’d recommend posting an ad on Craigslist. They have a free section. Best not to fill up a landfill.

Front yard planter will work. Just don’t put a white cross in it.
