Well, maybe a local 4-H or other non-profit can set up a "dump day" as a benefit in your county????
It works great here. They tell you the things they take (not regular household trash) like appliances, electronics, paint, tires, etc.. They accept a donation, set up a parking lot to take the stuff, and the county hauls it away for free.

I've seen dumps of spent tires around
here, all due to the fact that the landfills charge for taking tires and some
people are too cheap to spend money to dispose of them properly. Grumble,
grumble....
I used to see this kind of behavior in the NV desert..made me
crazy! Even here in CA around the Georgetown area, folks will dump their stuff
on a "back road" rather than pay a few bucks to take it to the dump!
We
play a game riding up there sometimes outfitting our "virtual house" with a
hot water heater, a washing machine, a dryer, a chair, a table, etc...along
the trail.
I think it may also be a function of the fees to dump?? I
really like the community dump days Placer County sets up, usually some sort
of non-profit org. does the work, donations are accepted, and the county
accepts the trash for free. They take hazardous stuff, electronics, etc.. We
have them several times a year in various areas. There was even a high
schooler last year who did one as a senior project. The $$ went to improve the
recycling in our county.
