You could furnish an entire apartment with Rehoboth’s bulk trash
For the first time in two years, Rehoboth Beach held its annual city-wide, week-long bulk trash pickup April 26-30.
If a person had had driven around in a pickup truck for an hour each morning, they could have come pretty close to furnishing an apartment – complete with office furniture and outdoor patio dining sets. For the more business-minded individuals, another option would have been to pick up the dozens of old grills, fix them up and then resell them.
The following pictures show a random sampling of the bulk trash put out during the week. It’s easy to see there are items put out for discard that would be a significant upgrade on some of the furniture in local summer apartments that will soon be filled with college kids working in the area.
