Nobody Wants Your Garbage, Free or Not

It's only littering if they don't pick it up after a reasonable period of time, say a few days. Otherwise, I'd say it's a practical, waste-avoiding sharing strategy. Even in the ritzy neighborhood mentioned.

Sounds like more piss-water from the bourgeois shitheads who live in NW 23rd.

I disagree. I've found some pretty cool stuff in those boxes.

People should at least have the common courtesy to collect them after they've been out there a week or two getting rained on.

@Joe yeah, honestly I've found some really useful stuff. And uh, all from NW.

I put out 2 enormous free piles when I moved, both of which got completely scooped up within a day or two (apparently I should have had a garage sale?). Just because you don't want free stuff doesn't mean others don't as well!

Most garage sales are a true waste of time.

Free+ not having to sit out there all day is well worth the $50-60 you'd make.

Agree w/ DamosA

I had to move from a nice shared house in SE to a cramped basement apartment on NW Everett. The ONE thing that frustrated me more than all the fucking yuppies and the fact that my floor only had one bathroom was a lack of free boxes. I'm sorry if they don't match the decor of your boutiques or the interior of your bmw's. Why don't you move to the west hills so you can be free of looking at the plebeians and their attempts to work cooperatively and live more sustainable lives.
