Freegan – as seen on Oprah

I have had people stop by the house and ask if they can take stuff out of my trash.

Once it’s in the dump, of course, that’s different. As long as it’s on YOUR property, taking anything from it is theft.

That’s VERY interesting considering the police are allowed to collect evidence from dumpsters and garbage cans because once it’s been thrown out it’s consider public domain… meaning they don’t need a warrant etc to collect someone’s “trash” as evidence. Yet, they can turn around and charge someone with theft for taking something that they themselves can take without cause? Interesting….

Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
