There’s this dumpster that I like the looks of. The place is closed on weekends and it’s next to a wooded area. It’s one of those small dumpsters the front loading garbage trucks lift with forks and “throw over their shoulders” to dump empty upside-down. I was thinking that if I hopped into the dumpster and killed myself then no one would need to be upset about finding my carcass.
I seen people toss garbage in there they always toss it over the side and don’t seem to look inside. Plus I figure that if I bring black garbage bags to wear for a top and “pants” and cover myself with a layer of garbage then no one would see me anyway. Has anyone else been thinking about good ways to disappear? Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

You raise an interesting question, one I’ve struggled with. Where to do it? You didn’t mention your intended method. Mine is gunshot, which I wouldn’t wish on anyone to find. I have been thinking of remote areas to go to at night.
But it makes me sad. Because I wanted to go peacefully, in a decent environment (hotel?), playing music I like.
The idea of the woods or a dumpster makes me cringe. It may even make it harder to carry out.
Not really. If I end up killing myself it’ll be so fucking impulsive that I’ll probably leave behind a huge bloody mess. I don’t have any interest in stopping to consider the details.
I’m impulsive as well. I agree with catchthebus, I’d go all out and buy a night at the most fancy hotel I could afford (not a lot) and die somewhere beautiful. Lock the door and hang the do not disturb sign. You’re idea is good, too. I liked the title.
Interesting idea! I’m also considering where. If I use a gun, I can’t do it at home, or in a hotel, as the noise would probably bring immediate investigation, and if I’m not dead, there’s a chance I could be rescued and live a crippled future. So the remote dumpster idea is good. I’ve also thought of driving some distance out in the desert, where there isn’t much traffic. I want it to be a while before I’m discovered.
Way to think ‘outside of the box’. The thing is, I don’t like the idea of spending my final moments lying in an oversized trash can. I prefer the idea of going out the same way I arrived – naked, screaming, and near some kitty I just crawled out of.
There’s a seedy motel about two miles away from the funeral home where I made my final arrangements. Cremation with the ashes scattered at sea. (It cost about $1100). I’ll check into the motel, walk half a block down to the strip club, get drunk then return to the room. I’ll pay for the room with a credit card. That way they can charge me for any mess I leave behind.
After they hear the pop, they call the cops. They’ll find my mortuary card on the nightstand, make the necessary call and somebody will swoop in to scoop up the corpse.
I’ve possibly over thought this but I don’t want to leave a mess or complicate things too much for others
Thanks for the info on cost of cremation. I don’t know how much prep work I can do, but a DNR sign, living will docs, and requests (no obit, no memorial service) next tp my body, too, in addition to trying to set up the cremation. Maybe using a pillow would decrease the sound. I agree with the concern about doing it in a place where people could come quickly rushing in.
I thought about the cremation thing too late. I have a camping trip and a tree waiting for me next week. Would have forced myself to push $2000 to the side to pay for the cremation so my sister could scatter the ashes. Sadly, thought of that too late to do anything about it. My note says the family can pay if they want the ashes for closure, or that I don’t mind if they just let the government take care of it (they call these unclaimed bodies “indigent burials”).
Blah–I just checked into pre-paid cremations. Lots of controversy and scams out there. I’m not really interested in sparing my family effort or expense. I Do, however, like the idea of the body being swept away quickly. Perhaps no autopsy necessary (why would there be with a self-inflicted gunshot wound?). Anybody know about the autopsy issue and how to keep one’s suicide as quiet as possible. Would it be better to drive to a different state to downplay it?
I like the idea of being in control of this b/c my family doesn’t care and doesn’t listen to what I want. I’m afraid “next of Kin” can take over once I’m gone. I want no services, no obit, no notice taken at all. Arranging it in advance gives me an illusion of control, anyway. I found a variety of prices in my state, mostly in the $500 to $700 range, which includes transportation costs.
