Where I live, some of the cities in my area have "city-wide cleanup" days in the spring. Items are left on the berms, in alleys, etc. for the city crew to pickup and dispose of.
A few of us drive around and see what is being thrown out. "Curb side shopping" is what is going on. I think people throw usable items out, because they do not have the space in their house, garage, etc. I live in the country and do not have this problem. Some city residents live on a postage stamp size lot and space is lacking to store items.
Also, one of the city dumps is open here at certain times. We are allowed to go out their and scavenge some items.
One mans junk is another mans treasure.....
