The town I grew up in had "heavy pickup" days a couple times a year, where they would take all of the stuff you couldn't put in the normal garbage. All day long, you'd see people driving around picking up "free stuff". By the time the town trucks came around, they probably picked up about 10% of what had originally been put out. It was like Freecycle decades before Freecycle got started.
