My wardsBeware of collectors of unwanted goods
Overview
Some collectors who advertise by truck or flyer to take unwanted household goods cause trouble: they charge after the work is done, ask more than double the quote once the goods are loaded, or dump the goods illegally. Under the ward's waste ordinance, even licensed collectors may not collect household waste, except the specified home appliances (air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators and freezers, washing machines and clothes dryers). Dispose of bulky items and appliances by the ward's rules.
