    Curbco Holidays

    Just wanted to see for you curb shoppers what days are good days for you, and what months maybe do best for curb shopping. I know spring cleanup is a good one. Feel free to contribute your "curbco holidays"

    Memorial day spring cleaning/with delayed holiday pickup has always been a good one for me.

    After Father's day/4th...grills, lawn furniture, garage clean out.

    Right after that first cut of grass in the spring...or when the grass starts to really pop after a few heavy rains...mower/trimmer time.

    End of summer...bikes.

    The week after the kids go back to school...mom's be pitching, and around Thanksgiving when they start pulling the decorations out of storage and go into panic clean mode because they're getting company for the holidays.

    In the dead of summer, middle of Jan you normally don't find much.

    After Christmas is hit and miss with a ton of competition.

    Three possibilities:

    1) End of the month in areas with lots of rental homes. Also applies to apartment complexes.

    2) The day <before> trash pick-up day.

    3) My Son does well checking on-line for city bulk pick-up weeks and working those areas hard.

    Another is of course any area around a college when the kids leave for the summer, check the school schedule on their website, most post it...gotta be quick though, lots of competition on that one...a lot of cops sitting at every corner usually too.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    End of the month at rentals- definitely.

    E-Waste picks up in the Fall, and a little after Christmas. The slowest E-Waste time for me is the spring (Late Feb- Late April)

    Metals do well during those times out here, though. People are spring cleaning.
