RE: All in the name of safetyness!
Update
There's a storm hitting the Northeast USSA today, so I put most of the items out to the curb yesterday even though the pickup was not scheduled until tomorrow. As I am still waiting on delivery of those "special bags", the mattress and box spring were not taken to the curb. Now, despite the weather already getting nasty, and the Town workers having a penchant for bailing on these types of jobs with even the threat of inclement weather, I looked outside and everything has been removed from the curb. They came a day earlier than scheduled, without any warning, and there are still items that hadn't even made it to the curb yet. Good chance that, even if I do manage to get the other items out tonight, those items will still be there in the morning. That means I'll be forced to play Round 2 with "Mopey Mary" to get them to come back.
I hate this place...
