    Here in texas any grass area is considered your property. the public domain is the actual alley, side walk or street. If the item is in the grass meian between the sidewalk and curb that is still your property. in the alley if you have a grass strip between the fence and concrete alley then that strip is your property as well as anything on that strip. so far as dumpsters go if you take something out of them then yes you are stealing. the contents of those dumpsters is the property of the waste disposal companies. that is how they make their money and so you are stealing from them. i have actually seen people get prosecuted for this. (still doesnt stop me though lol)

    Around here the waste company makes the same either way. If it's in the dumpster, they won't pull it to recycle, yet they charge the same for pickup.
