[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 475931, member: 6705"] Where we're located, we don't see [I]as[/I] much, but it's still there. I've taken to giving more to Goodwill than I have in the past - they do help local people out. And I'm seriously considering cleaning out the cabinets, and taking any non-perishables to the food bank. (My problem is, I don't know where one is. But I will find out, I'm good at stuff like that.) Years ago, I got my sofa, end table, dining table and chairs from stuff set out by the curb by someone. I sure couldn't afford them at the time. Now, you rarely see anything like this. We've had pickers go through our garbage. Good luck to them; most of it's actual garbage. husband keeps metal to recycle. We've also had the same pickers dump a bunch of stuff in our yard... Again, actual garbage. I was TICKED. (I heard them drive into the yard, I was in bed, by the time I got husband we only got part of the license plate # - but - the truck belonged to a tree service. Bet someone got their rear end chewed!) Mostly, though, our neighborhood is a little isolated (2 streets, busy streets on 2 sides, freeway behind on the 3rd (kind of triangular). The people next door are "Section 8", the ones across the street quite well off (and snotty too)... It's not conducive to pickers. [/QUOTE]
