It looks like bulk pick-up day for Woodbridge is tomorrow. I have never used it and it just seems too good to be true that the bulk-man will actually come and take my couch away. Anyone here that can comment on whether the bulk pick-up is reliable?

Bulk pick-up in Woodbridge is tomorrow, unless your couch is bigger than a car, it should get picked up, put it out today though and someone might take it away for reuse.

Bulk pick up is pretty reliable. But if you miss it and your stuff sits there, you'll get one of those annoying $1500 Blight tickets. (Same thing if someone dumps on your property). They move in a couple different crews and at different times. One claw truck comes and takes couches and mattresses and furniture, another claw truck comes by and takes yard debris and/or giant branches. Not quite sure who gets the tires.

If you leave any old appliance at the curb (water tanks, stoves, fridges) on any given weekday, you can bet on the scrap man picking those up within the hour.
