Dear Fernwood Residents –
We understand that from time to time, it is necessary to dispose of large bulky items.
You can make appointments for Bulky Item pick-up in front of Fernwood resident home sites as requested by management The bulky item pick-ups are done weekly on Wednesdays.
1) Each home site can have a free bulky item pick up two (2) times a year.
2) Residents will need to call management and identify the items for pick-up (for example: 20” TV, Twin Mattress, small 3x4 wood table, 2 wood chairs). No more than 5 items per appointment. Management will let residents know the day they can have their item(s) picked-up as there is a limit to the number of home sites on the same day/appointment.
3) Once management has approved the home site/items, they are to be put in front of their home site by 6:00 a.m. on the day of pick up but no earlier than 8:00 p.m. the night before Wednesday pick-up.
Keep in mind that mattresses are picked up by a different truck so you could have two separate pick-ups on the same day.
