Municipal collection or private service?

Furniture and bulky-item collection offered by municipalities and boroughs follows categories, schedules and instructions that vary by address. Check the official rules for your area before putting an item on the sidewalk. A private clearout service is neither a municipal service nor a substitute for local rules.
