Free Bulk Trash Drop Off Day is Coming Up in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Are you ready for fall clean up?
The City of Kalamazoo, Michigan and Republic Services host a free bulk trash drop-off day four times per year. Start making some room in the garage for your cars ahead of the first snowfall! Here's what you need to know:
I'm about to make a big move and I'm already dreading it. Not like I'm even moving to a new town or across the city-- I'm just moving to the new apartment building over! But hey, a move's a move no matter how far you're going.
The previous tenant left a big, bulky couch behind for me and said, "Good luck!" when it comes time to move and soon that day will finally be here. What does one do with an old broken couch?
Never fear, Free Bulk Trash Drop Off Day will soon be here!
