I also am wondering where to find a large item drop? I own a pickup truck, and we're doing some small/medium home improvement work.

In my previous location (Southwest Virginia), the County garbage pickup wouldn't take construction waste, so I had to throw large items into my vehicle and take them to one of several dumpsters located throughout the county.

How does one dispose of, say, a wheelbarrow here?

Thanks, -Luke

You can look on the City of Urbana website at www.city.urbana.il.us and click on recycling in the Quick Links section at the top. They have a brochure about where to recycle things.

For scrap metals, they have listed: Mack's Twin City Recycling 2808 N. Lincoln Ave., Urbana 328-2100
