In my neighborhood, I've never actually seen any of this type of stuff stick around long enough to still be there for trash pick up. Shoot, we pulled long dead deep freezer with mummified food and other , uh, fauna, in it and someone asked if we were giving it away! He was happy to take it away and we were hapy to not have to pay 30cents on the dollar to trash it.
And there's always Freecycle. In my experience, pretty much anything has value to someone. Why bother with hauling your stuff around and paying to have it trashed when you can put a listing up on Freecycle and someone will yank it out of your basement for you? Suzanne B.
