one of the "bennys" of living in a designated "bad" area of town, is that one day a year, you get free curbside garbage removal!
my "heap" would have probably been alot larger, but i just got started at 6:30 last night after a weekend long out-of-town trip. i did haul a bunch of crap to the curb, and even had my neighbors company help me bring the old toilet that has been in my garage for a year and a half! woo hoo. i will finally be able to sweep the garage.
the interesting part was the "shoppers" tooling around the neighborhood last night. i unloaded about HALF of my stuff into the truck of a native family. the kid was so happy to get my old ten speed from college! and the woman got rugs and a couple old chairs. it was silly. i wanted to have them come in the house and pick up some more stuff, just to see the look on their faces!
anyway, unfortunately i spent most of the weekend acquiring more "stuff" so i came out about even in the matter.

Nice toilet Bob! K~
We used to do this in Germany, where they have a bi-annual bulk trash pickup. If you were on the ball (we never were) you could find bona fide antiques left on the side of the curb. Americans called it "junking," but the German word was knaudeln. Glad you got "junked!"
