I see no need to join a club, pay dues and then ontop of that pay extra money to get in someones good graces. I think by joining and paying dues is more than enough.
Ian - thank you very much for proving my original point - that if we rely on donations to pay for the dumpster, there will always be the same guys who shell out their cash voluntarily, while others refuse to put their hand in their wallet to help out (because "I already paid my dues", or similar such justification).
Trent - thank you very much for your very generous offer of help. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about when I mention how the local guys have repeatedly gone out of their way to help us out, and why I think we need to be equally willing to go out of our way to be members who are always welcome, rather than just the guys who take advantage of the fabulous hospitality. I will bring bags and ties, and take responsibility for handling trash up until I leave on Saturday evening. After that, someone else please step up to take over.
