Unfortunately it is illegal around me. The municipalities have tied it all up in RED TAPE by saying first, once it at the curb it is "town property" and second they have a huge list of what people can put in their trash, when they can put it out, and how much they can put out. They actually charge people $20 to get into the local facility to dump their appliances, tvs, etc. It's a total cash grab.

Fortunately, its a municipal bylaw, so the cops couldn't care less and it falls on a municipal officer to catch people curb shopping.



But I think your right, benny, we scrappers make sure not only everything gets recycled better than the towns, we will also re-purpose something or sell it while the town tosses working and non-working items into the trash.
