It won't be "ho ho ho" till I can get at my decorations!
I finally bit the bullet and went to Kijiji to look for someone who picks up junk, because I really need my garage cleaned out. I can't easily get to my Christmas decorations right now, tucked into a back corner as they are. Oops. It's not like I have a ton of stuff, but there are a lot of little things, and a few large items, that need to be cleared out. So I saw an add listing $x per load, all in, no added disposal fees or hidden costs and emailed the fellow yesterday. Supposedly he'll come by after work tomorrow (he has a "full size long box pick up truck"). And he will take a personal cheque--I asked. I could pay him cash, but prefer cheque because there will be a record of my payment. Of course I tried to find this fellow's address via Canada 411 and via a postal code look-up. (The ad has a postal code associated with it.) It's an address in the west end of the city. I also Googled his name, with the only local reference being to a 2011 news...
