Curbside Question
Jul. 7th, 2009 10:21 pmSo I am buying a new couch tomorrow from Craigslist and I would like to have the movers dispose of my old couches as well (I am too weak to move them myself). They are not in the best shape so I'd like to have them leave them on the side of the road. No rips or stains but dusty and a little sunken-in. Problem is, the garbage just got picked up today and I'm skeptical that anyone would actually take them, meaning they might be there until next week.
Does anyone know if I'd get fined for this? I know some shelters take used sofas and such but do any of them do pick ups ? Or do the garbage men ever make special trips? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Called 311 and its a no-go unless its garbage day (but apparently they'll take up to two pieces of furniture). I might wait until next week but any ideas of what a waste disposal service might cost?
UPDATE: Disposed of larger couch today through Craigslist free items and it was amazing :)
