What other oppurtunities do Houston citizens have to dump there own debris?

If people are told you can have a truck load or less means to people that they may get turned away on a trck load of debris.

We have areas in Houston that are attracting ant, mosquitos, small animals in the piles of debris in front of our houses as well as infront and we are not getting any help from waste management, astro or any other trash pickup servoice but we are still paying for it monthly or should I say everyday.

We all need some help so who wants to take the challenge becuause it's not Houston or Harris county nor the trash services that are still getting paid.
