Yes! I threw away my house's entire old layer of shingles that way, when I replaced its roof about 10 years ago or so. A pile of them to fill 80% of the can each week, covered with the one bag or so of actual trash I typically have, for a couple of months or so, and the big pile was gone.
If you're familiar with the first generation of Sony 26-inch console TV sets (KV-2642R, KV-2644R, KV-2645R if I remember right) that had really short-lived CRTs, someone gave me a white one in about 1992, and after I gave up trying to do anything to help its CRT, I busted the entire set (that had a cracked and yellowed cabinet) into pieces and "threw it in the trash" over a couple of weeks or so.
"Go to the dump?" "That's what we pay those guys in the trucks to do for us."
