Bulk pick up
In New Haven, we used to have bulk pick up every summer....each neighborhood in the city would be assigned a different week. It was a real happening, with scavengers picking through others disgarded "treasures". The city then went to bulk-pick-up by appointment only, but they take everything, including appliances (not hazardous waste, of course; we have a recycling station for that which is open from May through October). On our street, when one person has a bulk-pick-up the word spreads quickly and everyone hauls out their stuff.
