large trash removal in the slope? — Brooklynian

large trash removal in the slope?

I have a large, heavy, wooden, I think hand made entertainment center that I must get out of my apartment. It is a great piece of furniture, but we need more space. Does anyone know if that is something I can just put on the street as either a freebie or to be picked up as trash or if I need to arrange for garbage removal pick up?

    This is what it looks like. I moved the top piece (it is a two piece set that goes together) a little off center so you all can see the size of each part.

    If anyone wants it, please let me know ASAP.

    I think you can leave it out. When I checked the DOS website about a love seat I wanted to throw away, it said furniture didn't require a special pick up.

    Yeah, just put it out there. Today might even be a good day because people are walking around and someone might pick it up. Put a "Curb Alert" on craigslist and I bet it'll be gone by tomorrow.

    Or put it on freecycle.com. I got rid of a huge entertainment center that way w/ full disclosure that whoever took it would have to carry it down 3 flights of stairs and haul it away. they came with a bunch of people, took it down and carried it away on top of their mini-van. I got about 15 requests in five minutes for my entertainment center.

    Call MIH Ventures. Heard they're good with large trash removal!

    While we're talking about clearing apartment space, can anyone recommend a company that will move a dresser from my apartment to my friend's apartment in Carrol Gardens?

    I guess I'm looking for something in the middle of the mover-courier continuum...

    Thanks all for your suggestions.

    turtle95 - FreeCycle.com looks like a bogus site. Are you sure that is the correct url?

    Thanks

    Actually it's http://www.freecycle.org. The site redirects you to a yahoo groups email list. I was able to get rid of a desk I had a few months ago. Put an ad on the list with a photo and under an hour had someone contacting me they were interested. Person showed up on time and took the desk away. Good luck.

    Bulk pickup is the first Saturday of every month. Put it out then and they will take it. For refrigerators you have to make an appointment-
