Man coming to look at my house

The trash service won't even take the restricted items I mentioned on community clean-up day. I even tried giving them away and no takers. I did a search for hazardous waste disposal and I'd have to travel a long way and pay a lot of money to do it.

Looks like I'm spoiled - living in a Los Angeles suburb.
All I have to do is call Dept. of Water & Power & they schedule a free "Special Trash Pickup."
I really needed it one day when a skunk sprayed my dog & he ran in the house rubbing his face on everything. I had to throw away a bed, several pairs of shoes, some huge king-size blankets & an old sofa.
When I called D.W.P, I told them everything smelled awful. They said "We don't care; leave everything out at this time & we'll pick it up."
 

Every comminity has their own rules and services. Here, trash disposal isn't a public service. Each homeowner has to hire their own private trash removal service and even those are limited. The two most prominent ones are Twin Bridges (a fairly new company) and County Waste (who's been around a while).
 

Since it has been 7 years I was thinking we could send this thread over to The Property Brothers TV show producer's and see if they want the brothers to do a Flip for Deb.

They could call the show Deb's Dilemma.

Whatcha think Deb? Not only be a star but get closer to that million.
 
You never know what people want or don't want. Things I thought I'd be overwhelmed with purchase requests have been sittiing for weeks on Marketplave with 0 views. Some things I tell myself, "Nobody will ever buy this." I get 5 or 6 inquiries.
 
What green paint? I have a brick Victorian.

I did get a PM from the man that looked at my house last week. He said he wanted to set up an apoointment with me to discuss it. I don't know what he would have to say in person he couldn't put in a PM.
 
When we sold our houses, we hired a professional appraiser to give an accurate valuation. We considered it an investment, we knew the actual market value of our house. If someone wants to make an offer and it was it the ballpark, we could give them the appraisal. It was a bonus for the buyer to not need to pay for on for the bank.

Please don’t rely on Zillow or other online sources that have never been to your house.

He wants to judge your reactions

Our Sherwin-Williams does not take old cans of paint. I just called ~ out of curiosity. She stated that they tell their customers to take them to the 'City'.

Solid Waste Management, that is. o_O I have no clue where this is at. But, a phone call can get me all of the info I need, I'm sure.​

I take my old paint cans to the recycling centre, we can also take electronics

I notice you have a lot of "collectables". This morning I donated a couple of items to the the local animal shelter, and they had a massive pile of ceramic "collectables" in their parking lot....teapots, cups, small statues, etc., etc. The lady said there is NO local market for that kind of stuff, and they are just putting them out there for "Free" to anyone who wants to take them.

Same is pretty much true here, too. They can hardly give away that stuff anymore.
