[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Technically, once the trashcan is on the curb of a public street it becomes fair game for anyone to use ...or in the case of the police during an investigation, can take items from said trash to obtain DNA w/o your permission  (pizza crust, cigarettes, etc).

There's a difference between adding trash and removing trash. The precedent from those cases is that you have no expectation of privacy after discarding something. The precedent isn't that your trash is now available for public use.[/quote]

DP - and it's about what is the courteous, neighborly way to behave - not what you would be entitled to legally - which it sounds would have no basis either.

Do unto others...if it would annoy you if someone did it you, don't do it to them.  
Does anyone else have the impression that people are just getting more self-centered in recent years? it's ME ME ME ME, whatever suits my fancy, my needs, my priorities.[/quote]
