Specifically wood from torn down old wooden steps? If not, is there any place to drop stuff like this? Thx.   george H Citizen Username: Georgieboy Post Number: 155 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Monday, April 10, 2006 - 12:24 pm:        No. No.   Joan Supporter Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 7245 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 10, 2006 - 4:43 pm:        You should be able to get rid of the wood during bulk pick-up unless there is some toxic material (lead paint on the wood perhaps?) involved. Depending on the condition of the wood, one of the schools might take it for use in an art project.   sac Supporter Username: Sac Post Number: 3348 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 10, 2006 - 6:57 pm:        They always say "no construction materials" in bulk pickup. However, I've never seen them not take it ... the only thing I've ever seen left on the curb is hazardous materials (paint cans, propane tanks, etc.)   Bob K Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 11181 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, April 10, 2006 - 7:11 pm:        I think "no construction materials" is usually interpreted to mean "no contractor's debris".   Rick B Citizen Username: Ruck1977 Post Number: 1059 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 7:38 am:        our bulk pickup is about 2 weeks into the history books. the worst part is, i put about half of it out for bulk pickup thinking if i put it all out it will look like construction material. now i am kicking myself because they took that half and now I am left with the other half. anyone still out there have bulk pickup left?   Prescott Perez-Fox Citizen Username: Scottperezfox Post Number: 13 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 2:51 pm:        cut it into small bits and chuck one piece each week with your normal pickup.
