Century To Clean Up After Contents Of Entire House Dumped Curbside
July 17, 2013
The Century Town Council has voted to clean up a large debris pile on East Pond Street after someone piled the entire contents of an unoccupied home onto the street.
The town normally picks up curbside debris as part of its residential trash service — on a much smaller scale. Since the town must pay a vendor to dump the debris, piles are normally limited to a smaller size. And the town won’t pick up the debris pile if it was placed on the curbside by a contractor or someone paid to place it there.
In the case of the East Pond Street property, officials don’t know if a contractor or a private individual cleaned out the house. They say the house has been unoccupied for some period of time after the resident died. The property is currently owned by an estate, which will receive a bill for the clean up.

@NorthEndBratt, a picture says a thousand words and we can only see that which is before our eyes.
Lol¡¡ 429SCJ CUTE!
I hope Im not the o.lying one who GOT 4205cj’s comment !¡ Pretty sure I’m right¡¡
Kinda sad for the residents’ legacy
Good idea to get this news out. People will root through those bags and everyone will make a dime. The minute word gets out the pile will be gone except for the mattresses. No such thing as junk.
Since more people are aware of this now, I am sure most of the items that can be used will be taken, thus possibly making the debris pile small enough for town pick up. As long as they don’t scatter what they don’t take, it should help the cause!
I actually would like to have the old chiffarobe and possibly the nightstand. I think they could be refinished or painted and they would both be nice pieces. Why not take the “good” stuff to the thrift store next to the dollar general. If I had a way to move the items I would help. (don’t think they would fit in my small car) If they do get donated please let us know where. I always enjoy refurbishing old furniture.
Well from the picture you can say it was put out there in a neat pile. I can understand the towns concern and i know they dont want this to become a common thing. It could have been worse.
I am pretty sure that within all the stuff piled up, a majority of it could be donated to Red Cross or to a homeless shelter and used for the needy.
That old Chiffarobe could be refinished, if not then maybe a nice lady can hire someone to bust it up with a hatchet, plenty of those around there.
