If I also add a note or two. Since Onee mentioned (bins) under no circumstances should anyone go through receptacles designated or provided by recycling and or garbage removal companies. That is considerd stealing. There are a lot of towns around here. All provide small bins for recycling ( pop cans, newspapers, beer bottles, ect..) Some towns, not all provide large trash receptacles that you throw you Reg garbage into. These are also not to be gone threw looked in or sifted over. It's bad taste and reflects poorly on scrappers. If its on the curb past the side walk then it is considerd free reign. At least in this area. Between the side walk and street is city easement. Only the city can tell you not to take it given that its placed by the homeowner for removal. Dumpsters in apt complexes are also considerd trespassing. Most of this is common sense. Lastly please, anyone who goes through peoples personal trash cans STOP. Take the only obvious items set out. You make people feel violated when you take the lid off their garbage and rifle through. Stick to taking pita items to get rid if like furniture ( if that's your thing) appliances, Electronics, or whatever else you scrap. Have a little bit of etiquette and common sense out there. AND WEAR GLOVES!
found a 47" zenith flatscreen sticking out of a bin yesterday watching it now, could not resist that one.
