Special Bulky Item Pick-up for Middle Polk Residents

Have you ever wondered how to stop sidewalk litter of unwanted household items? Well, wonder no more!

MPNA is teaming up with DPW and Recology to promote an educational program focused on letting Neighbors know the proper (and much less costly) way of disposing of used and no-longer needed goods and articles.

Did you know that sidewalk dumping costs the City FOUR TIMES the expense of disposing of goods the right way?

Every Residential Trash Service Customer of Recology in San Francisco already pays for hauling and dumping service! It's factored into your trash collection rate. Residential Customers already pay for 2 FREE "Bulky Item Collections" per year, per address. Those of us who live in Apartments and pay the Apartment Rate for trash collection also pre-pay for this service; in this case Landlords pre-pay for 1 FREE "Bulky Item Collection" per year and every individual Apartment also pre-pays for 1 FREE "Bulky Item Collection" per year, per unit.

Here's how it works: Simply call Recology at 626 4000 to set an appointment time for your Curb-side Pickup - Required; Tag your articles with an "RMJ" (Recycle My Junk note - Required). You already pay for this service every year use it! Some guidelines and restrictions apply. Go to www.RecycleMyJunk.com for more details.

BUT! BUT! - There's One More Thing! - We have a Special Promotion going as part of this Educational Drive. On Saturday March 26, 2011 - Every Middle Polk Area (that's Van Ness to Leavenworth and California to Broadway) Resident who pays for trash service - be it the Residentail or Apartment Rate, gets ONE FREE ADDITIONAL "RMJ" (Recycle My Junk - Unwanted Articles/Goods) Pickup. You need only to call 626 4000 ahead of time to schedule an appointment for Saturday March 26 - and get on the Recology Pickup List. Then bring your "RMJ" goods to the curb with an "RMJ" tag affixed to them.......and that's it! It's Done! It's Cheap! and.......it helps keep Middle Polk Clean and Beautiful.

Spread the word. Make this event a success - and make sure that all of your Neighbors know the "right way" to Recycle Their Junk......that is, just call 626 4000!

Please contact Dawn Trennert with any questions/concerns/suggestions.

Thanks.
