The bulk collection dates was easily one of the dumbest money-saving moves ever made by the City. It can be several months between pick-ups so one of two things happen:

1. people save all of their junk and need to plead with neighbors to help the pull out things that can be as heavy as old refigerators from their yards or garages. It can take a whole day to clean up just a few blocks.

2. People say "F-this!" and find an empty property close by to dump their crap. This makes the neighborhood look worse.
