INC NEWS - Bulky item pick up

[Long, Donald]

We do have a swap shop that people can bring items that are still in
usable condition, you can drop off free of charge or take something free
of charge. However, we are not staffed to sift through items to see if
something can be reused, therefore, unless we get a full load that looks
good, we will be disposing of it at our transfer station.

Subject: INC NEWS - Bulky item pick up

Can someone explain what will happen with the items picked up? Are they 
going to just be trashed?  I hope not.  A neighbor accidently put items
out 
yesterday; service doesn't start until next week, and they were all
items 
that should go to a thrift store - a table, lamp that worked, mobile
kitchen 
island.  I do hope this will encourage folks to get rid of bulky items
from 
their yards and that will be a benefit to the community but considering
gas 
prices and that it use to cost us $25 so now there is a revenue loss,
not 
sure it is the best timing.
