Does the whole world have "Hard Rubbish" or just Australia

I have a property line on a main road, though. I have put things out on that sidewalk with a "free" sign and it is always taken. Once put out a toilet there and it was gone in a half hour. Other stuff is easy enough to dispose of via Freecycle if the person shows up to get it.

You gotta be pretty desperate to take a free used toilet :o
ChadTower:
Toilets are good items, actually. It was a very expensive one piece in a designer color... in near perfect shape. I replaced it with a taller one. A new one like the one I put out would run $500 easy. It was there when I bought the house and I didn't like it much because it sat so damn low.

No way dude! I'd bet Chad's toilet was one of those old 3 gallon flushers, and lemme tell ya, folks will PAY for a used toilet if it's one of those! That's prolly why someone took it. Mebbe they were re-doing their basement, generally where a lot of these new low-flow jobbies SUCK at doing their job, and wanted to throw a loo in there.
Now if there was still a deuce in the thing, you've got a point!

I sure as hell hope you don't pay town taxes... What are they doing with the money now that they've suckered you into paying for your trash removal?
Or are you more suburban than I thought?
ChadTower:
Town of 8000 people. Pretty suburban in eastern MA terms.
The problem is that we don't have landfills. Or dumps. Or anything of that nature. We don't even have many junkyards. So the towns have to hire a service to come get the trash and ship it off to other places. A lot of small towns in MA are like this.
We do pay town taxes but they're not all that bad. NH pays more than twice what we pay for almost no services.
