    I'm looking for the same guy, to haul away some carpet, wood, paneling,
    etc. Looks like we have a lot of business to offer.
149.2Try HOME_WORKHANNAH::DCLDavid LarrickTue Apr 25 1989 11:357
    JOET::HOME_WORK has a well-organized collection of contractor
    recommendations.  Topics in which you might find junk men include 2005
    (carpenters/handypersons) and 2027 (misc. contractors).  If you don't
    see anyone that suits your needs there, ask - in a REPLY to a suitable
    existing topic, _not_ in a new topic.

149.3DINER::SHUBINAre we kinder and gentler yet?Wed Apr 26 1989 00:238
    a friend of ours used someone from the Action Unlimited. The name in
    the ad is Sunshine or something like that. about $40 for a 5-yard load,
    as I recall. we're going to try them, too.

    speaking of junk, will the regular trash-haulers take an old electric
    range? (or does anyone want one?)

    They hauled away my old range five years ago.  Of course, it has
    to be at the curb.

    Regarding .3
    
    Generally, the Trash folks will take away one large item per 
    week.  I would not stake my life on it, because sometimes they 
    do stange things.  You might want to check with the Board of
    Health to see if there are weight limits.

149.6Sunshine OKLDYBUG::MCGOLDRICKWed Apr 26 1989 17:376
	A yes vote for Sunshine - shingles are gone 24 hrs later! 
	It's a small operation, but he was on time and cheap.

	The trash folks will still take one large item/week.  My 
	next door neighbor put out his hot water heater last week,
	and they just chucked it in with everything else.
149.7GET IT OUT NOWVAXRT::HOLTORFThu May 04 1989 14:218
         Maynard will probably have to start a "Permit" system for large
    items soon. The cost is increasing.
         I'm in favor of permits now,even if there was no fee. I've had too
    many people from Stow(where they have to pay) brag to me about how they
    bring their stuff to Maynard, dump it curbside, and let us get rid of it
    for them for free!
        Hoo, boy! Friends and neighbors! Sometimes I'd even pay to dump
    them!
