Observation and Question <br /> <br /> <br />Down here out city is real good about picking up almost anything you set out at the curb. The will not accept paint or chemicals or tires, but they will pick up and remove almost anything else. Wednesday is garbage truck day, (and now recycle pick up day -- good for them) and Thursday is the day anything else is removed. Anything you set out at the curb on Thursday is apt to be looked through by every other passer-by. Just this morning my neighbor set out about 6 boxes. Just a few minutes ago some lady in a small truck stopped and went through every box placing a few items in the bed of the truck. About two years ago I replaced my cook stove with a new one. The old one was set out at the curb and it wasn't but about 15 minutes before someone was loading it up into their truck. It wasn't the city picking it up just someone passing by. <br /> <br />This is my question. What do they DO with all this junk they rummage through and take away? Is this what becomes "Yard Sale" junk? Now we are not talking good merchandise here but junk and stuff people throw away. It also made me wonder about all the kids clothing that is bought at garage sales / yard sales. I hope whoever buy it washes it first. Anyway, just a few "off the top of my head" comments and questions for the "what is it worth" department.
