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

How is it possible for your building not to have an elevator up/down those four floors? I thought ADA would mandate that.

Don't quote me but only something like 5% of an apartment building needs to be ada accessible. So like as long as ground floor has a certain amount of ada units the higher floors don't need to have ada access at all.

That's terrible. I'm imagining moving mattresses and couches in... yikes.

I've only lived on a second floor once. Lucky my sister had strange guy friends to help with that stuff.
