Trash or Treasure

[articx]

If you throw something away, and someone else takes it out of the trash for their needs, will it bother you? Or do you not care?

i do not care i say another mans trash is someone elses treasure

[gwilson31]

It doesn't bother me but I wonder why they want it.   But I always heard that one mans trash is another mans treasure.

No I would be happy that someone wanted it where I couldn't use it or didn't want it.  In fact I just sold my mom's house and we put out some really good stuff it was just that we were over-whelmed with stuff.  I know that people picked up a lot of it before trash day and I was really happy about it.

No, it does not  matter to me, I agree another man trash can be another man's treasure.

If I put something in the trash it's because I don't need it and it has no value to me. I don't care what someone else does with it.

I have no trouble with people taking my unwanted things from the trash, as long as they don't bother me or my family. It's just going to the dump anyway. Might as well let someone else salvage it if they can.

I don't care - if someone else can use it then it's not going to waste.  I love to see others reuse things.

Some ppl by me take out recycling for money,I always see different Hispanic ladies all over my area doing that.  Wonder how the money they make monthly compares to Fusiion ?

No it doesn’t bother me at all.  Many times we have put things out for garbage and have seen people stop their cars and take something.  It makes me happy if someone can use something we don’t need or want.

It's trash to me if I throw it out.

[catchow]

no it doesnt bother me. I will put stuff out at the side of the road, that I cant use anymore, or that needs a minor fix, and people pick it up all the time

YEARS ago (I'm talking 25 or so) my dad took a VCR out of the neighbor's trash that he saw when putting out our own. He used to fiddle around with them - take them apart and try to fix them. He managed to get this one working again. So he goes to the neighbor's door and asked him if he still had the remote control to the VCR he'd thrown out the week before!


I don't recall where the story went from there...

No that would not bother me.  If I have something that I don't need or want and someone else has a need for it then by all means take it.

I wouldn't care at all. I would care if I find my trash on the street as trash, or thrown on my lawn or something embarrassing like that. I have let my trash go before. One man's trash is another's treasure.
