In your area, if you put an old style toilet out at the curb, do a couple guys drive past and fight over it? Or ask you if anything else matching is going out next?

Here they do.

In our area, it would sit on the curb until you take it somewhere. Garbage company won't take it. We have a spring and a fall cleanup that lasts a week here in town. You have to load it up and drop it off at the town shop yard for free, as long as you live in town.

Okee Dokee ... All you guys know I drive a school bus. Late last winter one afternoon I came upon a snow blower at the curb ( I drive in a very "ritzy" closed gate community ). I took a quick look and noticed it was exactly the same one my youngest had ( which was in need of a new impeller $125.00 ) so after finishing the route ( still in the bus ) I went back to where it was and decided that I'd pick it up and put it on the bus ( a definite no no ). Got back to the yard and managed to inconspicuously get it into my truck and back to the house. After I got it out of the truck I noticed that the key was still in the blower. ( it had an electric start also ). I grabbed a cord and voila ... started right up and worked like a champ. "Red" came out and asked where I cot it and I told her. Her reply was "maybe someone put it out there to be picked up by someone else" ... Woops ... who knows :>)

At work the toilets are 50+ years old. "Standard" brand. Those things will flush a cat if you ask it to. I might snag one next time they get replaced.

As long as they don't have one of them ritzy cameras. Here anything you put on the curb is definitely free!
