The city is organizing neighborhood clean-up dates by zone this spring. They will pick up any debris, aside from building materials and hazardous waste, where your trash is normally picked up (for most of us this means in the alley). So clean out any larger items from your house, and have it out for your zoned date.
For houses north of Ladies Mile, your pick-up date is Saturday, March 3rd.
For houses south of Ladies Mile, your pick-up date is Saturday, March 10th.
There is not a set time that they'll come by, so get your stuff out early.
