Yard Sale Days

It might seem like a strange time to mention Woodbridge's yard sale days, and special pick up days, but I have a very good reason.

This is gonna be a GREAT weekend to stay indoors. So I'm planning on going through my attic, and pulling stuff out for my sale... but I think I might try to sell my stuff at the flea market that's going to be at St. Cecelia's on September 24th. It's being sponsored by the St. Vincent dePaul Society, and a spot there will cost $15 (without a table.) I've gotta remember to call Jean or Jerry Retkwa at 732-283-2312, so I can ask them to hold a spot for me!
But anyway - I checked the Woodbridge Township recycling calendar so I could find out when our "special pick up" days are. They have the whole town divided into separate districts, and each district has a few different zones. If you aren't sure which district/zone you are in, you should go check the website HERE. It's a 32 page PDF document, everything you need to know about recycling and garbage pick-up in Woodbridge.

I found my own district/zone number. It seems like Iselin is all district 4, mostly zones 4,8, and 10, and little pieces of zones 3, 7, 9, and 13. (But I could be wrong, so you really need to go look through that pdf file to see where you are. Don't take my word for it, because you don't want to miss your chance!)

The dates I found for Iselin:

zones 4-10 and 4-13 will have their yard sale on September 10th and 11th.
zones 4-3, 4-4, 4-7, 4-8 and 4-9 will have their yard sale on September 17th and 18th.

Special Bulk Pick Ups:
9/13/11 for Zone 4-13
9/16/11 for Zone 4-10
9/19/11 for Zone 4-9
9/20/11 for Zone 4-8
9/21/11 for Zone 4-7
9/24/11 for Zone 4-3  and 4-4

I love the day of bulk pick up, you get to watch everyone driving around picking through everyone else's garbage - always entertaining, and actually not a bad thing at all; sorta another way to recycle. If I put anything on the curb that you want, feel free to take it!
