curb trash advice

[topsyturvytempo.livejournal.com]

Looking for some advice from all you wise people out there. We have a large couch--around 7' long- that we're hoping to just put out with the trash tomorrow morning (we've tried for a few weeks now to give it away or donate it but there have been no takers and we're moving on Wednesday). The couch is in good shape so we hate to have to do this but unfortunately don't have too many choices right now.

We called 311 to try to find out if it was too large for pick-up (no info on the website on size, it just says 2 furniture items per week) and the person we spoke to was unsure and thought they might charge us for it. Does anyone have any experience with this, or know if there are size limits for furniture put out with the trash?

Thanks as always!

I've put a couch out to trash that was that large, and they took it no problem.
