I have an apartment where the dumpster is a car's drive away, and taking trash down involves 4 staircases. What is the best way to ameliorate this situation?

i cannot possibly express how much of a gigantic pain in the ass this is; it's making more more slovenly than i want to be because it's such an inconvenience to throw stuff away.

like should i buy a hand truck? that wouldn't help for garbage bags

Is the dumpster within line of sight? If so, zip line.

Or zip line to your trunk and then drive it to the dumpster. Afraid to say I have in fact done this... Long rope one end tied to balcony support and the other on the support arm for the trunk then tied bags together in pairs and sent them down riding a wash cloth (i was worried friction would tear through the bags...). Then walk down and load it in the trunk, untie the car and drove it to the dumpsters like 1/4 mile away.

I did it in the middle of the night, less witnesses.
