Trash or Treasure

[makeblessed]

No, I don;t care because it has ran it's course with me; so if someone can use then I am good, my trash may be treasure to them.

it wont bother me ,,,i did not want it.....

No it doesn't bother me and we have plenty of things that need to be put out or given to charity.  Let someone else get some use out of it.  China get a lot of things from the US and sell it back to us as a trinket or something so it's all about being resourceful.

If you didn't want them to  have your trash   then what,stand guard,call the police,sniper them ? Once it's at the curb it's anybody's,now if they take your garbage cans w/o permission then they hang.

It wouldn't bother me at all. I would be really glad the item was still of use to someone else.

Doesn't bother me , although if I throw something away it is because it is broken beyond repair, but if it  has some use or values to  someone I always donate it.  I only donate it is not broken and can be used.  Some people just throw all kinds of trash in bags and bring it down, we as volunteers have to  go through the bags and  get rid of all broken and useless pieces of trash, or even have to throw something  away that could have been used if it had not been  awfully dirty, we don not have washers or dryers there. Sometimes a couple of us will bring home a big bag  and wash it up and take it back.

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 ?

We know a family originally from Viet Nam who worked all kinds of odd jobs and picked up recyclables in the trash every morning for about 3 hours.  The put all 3 of their children through college on the trash pick up job.  They put all of that money into a college fund.  In my area it is illegal for people to go through the trash because the city has a recycling program.  But I have never seen it enforced.

It would not bother me if other people took things out of my garbage but I think that they would be hard pressed to find anything of value. I would be angry at myself if they found something of value because I could have converted it to cash. I would probably ask them what value their purloined item had and begin to make money off of the same item myself (whether from my garbage or someone elses). I have found treasures in other people's garbage: Old water heaters, computers, aluminum, realtor signs, wires, metal broom handles...all things that can be cashed in at the local salvage yard. I have a special spot in my garage for these treasures and take them in every four months. I had a rip, last summer, in which I could not fit everything in my SUV and had to tie some on top!

it doesnt bother me that someone takes something out of my trash or something that i have thrown away for their own benefit

[Cbsteffen]

I don't even bother to pay attention.

[nannycoe1]

[bremer51]

I'm happy to share the trash.

[darkxtsuna]

No, It was my trash and his or hers treasure even if I toss out a $$$$ item and did not realize it.

[dreamyxo]

If I threw it away I didn't want it so if they want it so be it.
