    Dec. 26 or Dec. 29 the best curbo co shopping day

    or both??

    Barry O. has given us the day off on Dec. 26 (can't blame him for that) so I might go out cruising in my bedroom town for cast off items next to trash cans. But I wonder if the local trash haulers will still pick up on that Friday because its become a pseudo-holiday if its falls on a Friday just as the day after Thanksgiving has become. Or I might cruise a few hours early Monday morning Dec. 29 for goodies before heading to the office. Just wanted some opinions on the topic

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

    It's a great time to get boxes and wrapping paper!

    Around here, there are two types- those who pitch the good stuff on Christmas, and those that will wait until the 27th or 28th to throw it away.

    My political answer: I'd go both days!

    Meh, its your call. I wouldn't go.. people will be with family and friends and wont take the trash out. I like the week after new years.. thats when people are putting away christmas stuff and throwing out broken christmas lights, etc. Lots of boxes and black bags out.
