DE has it figured out! Here in the US I see waste like you wouldn't believe (I ran a recycle route in the 90's) the sheer volume of waste staggers the mind. I've come across Items like a period Fender Vibrolux Reverb (value around $1k) in perfect condition, even a bronze statue I recently let go of for $115; but the topper was a bench-top autoclave that sold for just under $1300. If it's touching refuse I won't bother with it, only if it's standing alone. America is the king of waste and the niche is there to exploit.
- I'd bet most of it gets repurposed instead of in a landfill though. Put something on the corner in the US, it's gone within hours.monospaced

- Before the crash not as much, but now yes. Reprogramming the mindsets of people to re-purpose.ZOOP
- Depends on where you live, I guess. In San Francisco, before the crash, it was still minutes until gone.monospaced
- Leave something out in SF, it's gone within seconds. you have to be careful.monospaced
- Where I live trash is up by the house in many cases, long driveways. That stuff doesn't get seen or used.ZOOP
- SF is the epicenter for re-purposing, it's awesome! I'd like to get back there soon, it's been too long. :DZOOP

- Haha, thought you meant Deutchland. They are actually far more advanced in recycling terms, than Denmark...jagara
- My friend used to live In Germany, he said they fine you for using the wrong bin. Serious recyclers!ZOOP
- I would gladly support a law that was way more restrictive when it comes to recycling!jagara
