The town I live in now has 2 bulk pickup days for heavy items, up to 5 items, a box of stuff counts as one. They usually don't care if you go a little over either. Then theres the pickers, who go absolutely nuts right before. Antiquers fighting over furniture like dogs over a bone, metal scrappers, etc...

Then theres my parent's town, which will pick up whatever you leave as long as it isn't hazardous. And if they won't take it, you leave a sign that says "free" and someone else will!

That's how I built my first pc back in the 90s. I cobbled one together from pcs people junked in my old neighborhood.
