I had four bags of yard waste, and they took the one with leaves and lawn clippings. The only reason I noticed is that they knocked over my other two, branches I shoved into bags.

Why? People drive around looking to dig into people's garbage for lawn clippings?

I throw random shite away in those bags, they got some scraps from me skill sawing some shite, but damn what if I had thrown away a battery or something more illegal?

This is why you never throw out old bongs with your leaves.

We use this as an intimidation tactic for people we're running surveillance on.

it is kind of funny to see what people take from your trash, guess it's true about one man's trash...

shite, I like it. I feel sorry for the garbage men, so I stagger how many bags I put out. I got to put out more bags since someone took two.

Again, if someone is following me, they're SOL.

i just throw the stuff that the drive around people might want, in the bed of my truck and chunk it in my work dumpster...although, those drive around people are still a lot classier than garage sale goers.

Compost man, duh. And the sawdust works well too. Compost needs a 30:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio... And sometimes the brown is harder to find than the green

I do this all the time for mulch for my garden. I have about 10 bags I've acquired over the past few months that I'm going to be spreading out in a month or so

I live in Shenandoah and someone did that a few months ago. I put several of the those large paper lawn bags out with leaves grass clippings etc. They took several of them away before the trash man. I also assumed it was for compost because they left the bags with stick/twigs in them.

Sticks and twigs take a long time to break down. Not the best for compost unless ground up.

My favorite is throwing broken appliances outside. Not even big things that would scrap. Like vaccums or small microwaves. People take them with the quickness.
