wondering if they’ll haul away my filthy %&#n mouth.
“It’s the most won-der-ful da-a-a-ay of the year!”
+1!
Woo hoo! I can’t wait for the Friday night pickin’.
I got a door once. Good times, good times.
anyone know if they’ll take paint cans, and if not, who will?
I think the city will take paint cans are part of weekly pick-up as long as they are in compliance with the city ordinance, 82-34(h):
“Paint cans. Paint cans shall be collected if empty or if the paint therein is dry or solidified with sand or pet litter and the cans are placed at the curb with lids off. “
They will take paint cans if all the paint inside is dried with kitty litter or something like that. They will not take liquid paint.
Yup, they will. If the paint is still usable, some people will take it via freecycle.
Halelujiah! You would not believe the crap that the people we bought our house from left behind. Thanks, y’all!
Get ready for all of the vultures, scavengers and junk collectors who invade our neighborhoods.
