you have to wait for "bulk"collection days for them to take the underpad (or any big stuff like that). check you're collection calender for when it is ... we're at my parents right now, but i can check mine when we get back tomorrow. i have some stuff i'd like to get rid of from the garage, but everytime i put it out my husband or son pull it back in the garage! maybe i'll brind it to your place, kemist

as for the tack strips, you can always try putting the box in garbage bag. if it's too heavy, though, they might leave it...

so i was just thinking.."i'm sure i could find the bulk garbage collection info on the web"... so i checked ....and voila:

looks like june 21 is the next collection for our zone. it also mentions that they don't like nails in boxes...you just need to put material out in a safe mannor

hope this helps!
