Twice a year in our neighbourhood we have a 'no tag' day when you are allowed to put out an unlimited amount of garbage instead of the usual 3 bags every two weeks. I know people come by the night before and help themselves to various treasures. I thought these looked good enough for someone to take home, as opposed to being garbage. The second and third photos are different views of the same cabinet. What do you think? And no, I didn't take anything home, simply because I am wary of clutter these days!



I found this interesting article in one of the newsfeeds. It's worth a read:
The truth about
lying: It’s good for you, trust us

mmmmmm, very interesting,,
There is a man with a truck that drives around and takes things people set out with their garbage. One man's junk is another man's treasure, right? I admit to taking a porch swing from someone's trash several years ago. It's still hanging on my back porch and was in perfect condition! ha.
It's the same here, people through too much away. I always go and look.....
FREE YARD SALE
Any time I have trash that might be desirable to someone else I make sure I put it out extra early.
Laurie, I thought so too.
Betsy that porch swing sounds like a fantastic find.
Valerie, kindred souls!
Sophia, I know how you feel.
Shayla, no kidding!
Great idea Kathy, like the evening before.
Lying is necessary, I think:)
Your pile is neat and clean, easy for others to salvage, over here we still mix our wet garbage with recycle items and still there are those that would go into the garbage to sort things.
We have "clean ups" twice a year too Christine in Sydney and it is always a good chance to throw out those unwanted items. I used to collect other people's throw outs like chairs and exercise bikes but now I refrain from looking.
That article "The truth about lying" was VERY INTERESTING!

Good, can exchange garbage....lol!
Looks like it would be a whole lot of fun to walk around the neighborhood on No-Tag day.
