As the say "One man's scrap, is another man's gold."
In Toronto we are very civilized about it. If I have a perfectly good item that I do not need, I put it out on the sidewalk, nicely, sometimes even labeled that it still works. Sure enough, someone will come along and take it.
I have even helped people carry stuff home. Other people have called and said to come quick as the neighbours have just put out something that I need. Waste not, want not!
If it were not for the big city dumps many strays would starve. I just wish we could gather up all the strays and find them forever homes where they would never know hunger again.
