wouldn't be stealing from t he city or anything? don't the city take the trees and use them for mulch and stuff?

12/21/2009 7:29:26 PM

if it's at the curb, it's considered trash. it's no different than grabbing a couch, old tv, or old desk that someone has put at the curb.

12/21/2009 7:29:37 PM

you mean you can do that???

12/21/2009 7:30:58 PM

hell yeah, that's the whole point of putting shit at the curb. so someone will take it

12/21/2009 7:31:31 PM

*facepalm*

"Stanley Stupid (Tom Arnold) is convinced that someone is stealing his trash, given that every few days it disappears. After several attempts, he discovers and follows a garbage truck to the local dump on rollerblades (he figures because it has more wheels than a car or a bike it is faster). His children, Buster (Bug Hall) and Petunia (Alex McKenna), upon waking up and not finding their father, decide to go to the police for help, only after leaving a note for their mother saying where they're going. However, they only write down the words "Police Kidnapped Your Children" Later, Stanley's wife and the children's mother, Joan (Jessica Lundy), wake up to find the note followed by a phone call from the police saying, "We have your children" causing Joan to set out to find and rescue her children."

i mean i knew people did it... i didn't know it was legal. what's to stop people from picking up everything from the curb? wouldn't the trash companys go out of business?

12/21/2009 7:35:03 PM

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhalalalal

12/21/2009 7:35:36 PM

Go ahead and steal all the garbage in Raleigh for 1 hour and see how much they worry about going out of business.

12/21/2009 7:36:04 PM

considering the fact that most garbage companies are on government contracts, no

the way i see it, if i put something at the curb then I could care less who the fuck takes it, as long as it gets gone

12/21/2009 7:36:10 PM

California v Greenwood agrees that Christmas trees left on the curb are fair game.

12/21/2009 7:37:08 PM

SHIT GOT REAL!

12/21/2009 7:37:26 PM

You can't take it if it's not in the right of way though. Unless you do have a contract to remove it from the property.

12/21/2009 7:38:02 PM

^^^^ Glad to see that you're capable of caring less about who takes it. Me, personally, I could not care less about who takes my curb crap.

^^see thats the type of answer i'm looking for. maybe i should have asked in thelounge.

You are trying to make Bass beds, aren't you?

if so, I have several trees you can have

12/21/2009 7:41:32 PM

i think a bed out of christmas trees, although they would smell good, would probably be a fire hazard.

12/21/2009 7:42:26 PM

yeah ask in the lounge

Its a whole different ball game over there

12/21/2009 7:42:42 PM

nah, i meant sinking old christmas trees in ponds/lakes for bass to bed on

bass love old Christmas trees, and it is a very eco-friendly thing to do

12/21/2009 7:43:46 PM

ha! ok... nah i was going to make a bon fire with them.

12/21/2009 7:44:22 PM

that'll do as well, although i recommend going to cargo facilities and asking them for old pallets instead. they burn much longer and hotter

12/21/2009 7:45:27 PM

Well, that's not a very ecological thing to do...

They recycle old pallets too, but nobody cares if you take them off their hands. Check warehouses for old and broken pallets. Just call up someone at a warehouse and ask them.

12/21/2009 7:48:49 PM

i'll buy a carbon credit to offset it.


i mean even if it was used in compost or whathave you, it will eventually decompose and release that CO2, just a little bit slower.

12/21/2009 7:50:15 PM

if it grows, you can burn it


that's the golden rule

12/21/2009 7:52:13 PM

12/21/2009 7:55:59 PM

i just found out it's illegal to burn cardboard. we burn our old beer boxes and other cardboard every weekend

12/21/2009 7:57:24 PM

^^^What about mountains. They grow (over thousands of years). Can you burn a mountain?

duh

12/21/2009 8:00:01 PM

^ But you aren't burning. It was said, "if it grows, you can burn it." Not, "if it grows, it can burn."

12/21/2009 8:03:00 PM
