A little, but that was just part of it, ya know?

Mix them in w/ regular trash

Throw the full boxes in by themselves

If there was room in a box I might put small trash in, but otherwise by themselves

From the previous 2 questions, in an instance such as that, would you be bothered if you had to throw the boxes of pictures, frames, and albums into a trash compactor or incinerator instead of a regular dumpster?

Not at all

Not unless I had to start the compactor or incinerator after I put them in
