FWB says
For what I pay waste management my oil filters go in their dumpster
You can throw just about anything away if you put it in a bag or box so their cameras don’t see it. I’m betting you could throw a body away if it’s packaged right.
Their trucks have a camera that takes a picture of the dumpster when the forks are lowered, and another camera that takes a picture when it’s dumped in the truck.
This has been a public service announcement
