The “Free” Alternative: A Risky Gamble

Free collection from resellers or charities may seem appealing, but it often leads to frustration.

Cherry-Picking: Most “free” collectors take only valuable items, leaving behind damaged or bulky junk.

Unreliability: Last-minute cancellations, no-shows, and wasted time are common.

Illegal Dumping: Many aren’t NEA-compliant, risking fines with improper disposal.
