The folks in my condo complex are like this and it drives me nuts! I belong to Freecycle, but I don't think any of my neighbors are aware of this concept. I see so much useful stuff in the dumpster. I have grabbed stuff from there before - cute tins for my mom, plant pots, a beautiful trellis for my garden. DH grabbed a set of lefty golf irons and sold them on Craigslist for $25 !!
I just happened to run into one neighbor heading off the the dumpster with a framed Norman Rockwell print. HUH???????? The print is 11" x 14" and is matted in a nice frame. Who in their right mind would throw that in a dumpster? Yeah, it hangs on my wall now.
