Curb mining
Curb mining is the act of finding furniture and art discarded on the street ("curbside"). In cities around the world, people often dispose of furniture and other unwanted items by leaving them on the sidewalk for others to take.〔Schott, Ben. ("Curb Mining" ), ''The New York Times'', New York, December 23, 2009.〕
Terms similar to curb mining include "dumpster diving" and "freeganism". In June 2007, The New York Times wrote:〔Kurutz, Steven. ("Not Buying It" ), ''The New York Times'', New York, June 21, 2007.〕
== Re-use and recycling ==
In many jurisdictions, ownership of domestic waste changes once it's placed into a container for collection. It's thus illegal (although rarely enforced) to skip dive. Curb mining gets round this because the items offered are not yet placed (in a legal sense) into the 'waste' stream, thus their ownership hasn't yet been transferred. It's often legal to curb mine, but illegal to skip dive.
Some countries, notably Germany, Japan and much of Western mainland Europe, have a long tradition that items placed outside are intended specifically for re-use by others. There may be a designated day of the week or month, distinct from normal refuse collections, to encourage this.
