Sure, pickers come through on garbage days looking for things at the end of driveways. If it is truly trash, I have no problem with it. I put an old television set outside at the end of my drive and 40 minutes later, it was gone.
If anyone leaves something at the end of their drive, you had better be sure you want it gone as it will be gone.

I know exactly which neighbor blueeagle65 referenced and it is very obvious that those planters are NOT trash or out for the 'pickers'.
Some of these 'trash pickers' have a lot of 'unchecked nerve' to put it nicely.
I had some items out for one of the charity pickups, clearly marked, and just outside my garage door........NOT at the end of the driveway. Someone came up, took what they wanted, and left the rest. That is just plain STEALING. I now get up early, place the items on the porch, and watch them until the truck comes. I would strongly suggest the thieves not set foot there. I most definitely will call and file charges for trespass!
