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!

If you're a Kalamazoo resident and you've got furniture, building materials, home fixtures, or even small car parts you're wanting to toss, starting this week you'll be able to dispose of them for free at Republic Services at 3432 Gembrit Circle.
