    I can’t believe you’d do such a thing!

    Meanwhile, me after my garbage company started charging for Christmas tree disposal:





    (Let the record show, that’s a yard waste container and the guidelines state no branches over 4”. I kept the trunk to burn)

    I had a history actually. At my last job in Sydney, one of my responsibilities was to ensure returned office equipment was rendered inoperable before dumping it in the bin. Usually this involved hammers and screwdrivers, occasionally a forklift and dropping something from full height, and once, on a dare, ripping it apart without tools, using only gloves, no-one thought I could do it, they were wrong.

    I also had a standing offer to anyone in the office having a bad day, come out to the warehouse and I'll give you a hammer and something to smash, a great stress reliever.

    Re: New sofa recliner time.

    I have heard the same thing in our area. If you call the trash company, they will haul away one big item. Unrelated, when I pruned that tree Friday, I was going to put the branches in big contractors' bags, then out to the trash. A real pain. But the firehall behind me has a big burn pile started with several items included branches, So I got the wheelbarrow and in two trips was done. What a time saver!

    Back to the delivery. 20 MIN they were in and out! Broke the old one down and set up the new. Guess I still believe removal should be offered if you buy new! But i found out why many of them don't do it. It is an insurance thing. If your old piece of furniture is infested, it will infest everything on their truck. Just glad I found a place that offered removal. They do have the option to REFUSE it if they see it is infested.
