ABOUT BULKY FINDER
Bulky Finder helps people discover free curbside and hard rubbish items nearby during council collection periods. Instead of driving around hoping to find something, users can see what's available nearby in real time and decide where to go before leaving home.
This app is based on the community: every item you see has been posted by another user.
