Back when they lived in town, my folks bought a new fridge and placed the old one by the curb- with a sign stating that is free and still worked. After about a week of setting there ( no one wanted or took it) they put a sign saying "for sale $25". That night it was taken, stolen! LOL

I think it's ridiculous at how much perfectly fine things people toss! People as so wasteful. If nothing else, donate it to a thrift store or try to pawn.

I set a rolloff box at a construction site where a cellphone company put up a new tower. They threw away enough copper-lined conduit for me to earn $600 salvaging it. $3000 from an ethanol plant project.

Lots of guns and traps end up in trash cans too.
