[Neighbors] Bulk Trash Fees for Oversize bulk Trash on Curb

[Laura Wilson]

Thanks Jim, for the headsup to everyone.  I’ve started photographing my bulk trash pile if it’s looking like it’s approaching the limit, so I could at least try to have some recourse if billed.
A cubic yard is 3’x3’x3’, obviously--so the article is misleading, since a kitchen range is about ONE cubic yard.  Thanks again to Jim for the info!
God bless,
Laura Wilson
