Wood Panels for Garbage Pickup
We are spending this weekend tearing out all the wood panelling in our basement. My job is to pound out the nails from each board. Its taking forever. Does anyone know if the DSNY will have issues if I just cut off the tip with a grinder, so its flush with the surface? Does that…
We are spending this weekend tearing out all the wood panelling in our basement. My job is to pound out the nails from each board. Its taking forever. Does anyone know if the DSNY will have issues if I just cut off the tip with a grinder, so its flush with the surface? Does that do the trick?
Also, I’ve read their pamphlet and it says I can bundle them 2ft high by 4ft high. The planks are approx. 6 or 8 inches wide. This bundle seems extremely heavy to me… does anyone know if there is a weight limit at overrides the dimension? thanks!
Pry the nails out from the point end (not from the nail head) with a plyers. Pull the head straight through the board. It goes much faster this way.
On the faq from dsny it says max 60 lbs.

It does say “bundles of wood (no longer than 4 feet, nails removed)” but when I’ve had trouble getting the nails out I bang them so they’re flat to the wood and bundle 2 pieces nail sides together to minimize the hazard to the collection guys. Worked OK for me.
It depends on the crew whether they’ll be a pain about the rules and leave your stuff. I haven’t myself but I hear that if you meet the guys when they’re collecting, a bribe … uh I mean holiday season gift … can smooth out some of the difficulties getting your stuff picked up.
If worried, don’t put it out ahead of time. Wait for the truck in the morning and hand it to the guys yourself.

40 lbs. per bundle is max. Look on DSNY site for exact rules. I recall you can place 6 bundles, not to exceed 40 lbs. each during each garbage pickup.
