City of Los Angeles bulk household item pickup

Thanks LA. Last Friday I contacted the City of Los Angeles bulk item pickup to schedule an appt. to pickup 4 huge pieces of furniture/junk......for free. Today, as they said, they collected the items and took 'em away. (No illegal dumping.) 

 A company by the name of GOT JUNK also has a service for taking away junk, however, it is a paid service. One sofa/bed combo would be over $100 to have taken away. With all the items I had, I think I would have spent over $400 just to have my "junk" taken to the junk yard.  

 Click the link and scroll down for other services (street lights out, pot holes that need filling etc.) Part of my spring cleaning effort since we haven't had summer here in LA...yet!
