If it's out at the curb waiting to be hauled away, I see no need to ask. Does your garbage man knock on your door to ask if he can take your garbage every week? I really don't see the difference.
LOL Well there is a difference but I see your point.....
Another reason to curse my mother for sending me to White Gloves and Party Manners classes I suppose.......

I do have to say . . I have only " acquired " big items . . small boxes of stuff don't interest me . .
but, yes . . I have loaded up small chests, tables, etc. . and refinished them . . ! !
. .oh, and ask BG2 about the wicker I was gonna haul back from KW. .! !
I once knew a guy that dumpster dived for a living and sold it to resale places. He once found a couch that was in PERFECT condition, all it needed was legs or casters. No spots, stains smells or anything.
He always said go from the last weekend of the month thru the 5th and then drive thru again around the 10th-15th.
Something to do with people moving and those being evicted and having to leave fast.
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.
When I was 6, my parents were just divorced and we lived in a small 3 bedroom townhome (mom, 2 sis', and me). Went "dumpster diving" with some neighborhood friends and found some polished rocks.
I gave them to my mom for Christmas that year.
When I was a teenager she had them strung into a necklace and she still wears it.

Where I live they do a Spring Cleaning thing every year where you can throw out anything and they will haul it away. Dad and I walked around scouting the piles. I did find 2 good garden hoses and a few extension cords.

Christine was mortified.
Tell her the hoses will go nicely with your new hole.

Our city used to sponsor a thingy like that, but they cut it due to budget constraints.
You shoulda just told Christine at least you didn't bring home a mattress.

Another reason to curse my mother for sending me to White Gloves and Party Manners classes I suppose.......
Mom was a proctologist?
A teacher.... who thought every young lady should attend this class.... every Saturday morning for what seemed like forever when I was 4-7!!! I learned to write thank you notes, dance, walk with a book on my head, conversation skills.... set tables, fold napkins, write invitations..... and not take peoples trash without asking......
