It's not always a bad thing, a lot of PPC stuff has been rescued from other peoples trash over the years, pulled from dumpsters and reclaimed at the landfill.I am amazed at what people toss out instead of trying to find someone who would want it. I understand people may not have time to try and unload all the stuff they have and it's easier to just toss it. But I try to find a home for a lot of stuff which I would have otherwise tossed. The Craigslist free section is home to a lot of people who are willing to take things off my hands. Things I would never have imagined people would want.
I'm not mister green or anything but I do try to do my part in keeping things out of the landfill if at all possible.
