Trash and garbage placed out for pickup are considered "abandoned" property and may legally be taken away and examined by anyone who comes along. One fellow in the United States became fairly well known for going through Bob Dylan's garbage. He dignified what he was doing by calling himself a "garbologist". Many people now are careful to shred anything with personal information on it before throwing it out.
