I just recently put out a nice stationary bike and I was so glad to see that someone else picked it up. It doesn't bother me at all.

It doesn't bother me but some towns have laws against taking someone else's throwaways.  They call it theft. Hard to believe, but true. We have a friend that used to go around collecting all kinds of throwaways and then have a yard sale.

Not something that I would have ever thought of lol.  If someone took it out of my garbage and needed it, I don't think I would care.  I threw it away so obviously I didn't want it anymore.

Got alot of crap from constantly composting garbage in the green bins that the city supply that I once lived my life with the only real trash we had was Kitty Liter and Dirty Diapers........I don't mind recycling and one you use that as a metaphor....it really doesn't have a long shelf life in my brain as being anything but a huge pain in the butt...throwing away gets easier the less room you have.....if that makes a difference to you , then now I know.

After working at a charity that works with homeless, I want other people to find use for the stuff that I can't anymore. I understand more about what charities and their clients need.

Plus it keeps trash out of the landfill, which is always good.

No. I am a firm believer of the "One's man's trash is another man's treasure" mantra. If I wanted the item, I wouldn't have discarded it.

Why would you care if you need to throw out anyway

I do not care if someone takes my stuff from the trash because most of the time when I put things in the trash it is because it is damaged. Usually I take stuff to Goodwill.

I understand that people have different opinions and that is what makes life interesting.  But I would be really confused if anyone has a problem with someone taking something out of their trash.
