BETTER OPTIONS THAN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALKS
Here are some resources for your valuable junk you wish to pass along and your old items that are no longer useful. There are many businesses that can help you donate your junk to a worthy cause as well as businesses that can help take your junk to a better place.
Whatever you do, DO NOT put your unwanted junk on the street or sidewalk. It is ILLEGAL to dump your unwanted junk, furniture, mattresses, or any garbage on streets, sidewalks, in parks, or anywhere else.
