I saw in yesterday's Daily Sun that if our day for garbage & recyclable pick-up is scheduled for Monday, due to the storm, we could put our donation out for pick-up before 6:00 am on Tuesday. Can anyone confirm this? I have a lot of crushed moving boxes & other recyclables to get out of the garage. Will someone actually come & pick it all up? I can't keep lugging it all out & then back in after no one picks it up. Thanks..
