So, how many people are going to declare ‘HOW COULD THEY LEAVE A FRIDGE OUT IN A SUBURB, DON’T THEY KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS!!!’?

Heidi says:

aren’t those things suppose to be duck taped closed, so no small children can play in them and get STUCK??
Do they do this kind of stuff wear you came from?

Welcome to the south Ms. Thang

My sister used to live in Kentucky and once a month (I think) they had “Big Trash Day” where you could put out things like appliances for the trash collectors to pick up. But it also became a time for college students, etc, to scoop some free appliances and furniture. My sister put out their old, leaking gas stove, with a note that it had a gas leak - it was gone before the trash collectors came by in the morning.

My grandpa’s neighbor once put a toilet in his front yard with a sign that said, “Free, take with.” And someone actually took it.

We gave my parents our older refrigerator and it just died and they took it to the road and it was picked up right away. My mom was really hoping that it wouldn’t sit out by the road long:)

You know, I was reading back at some of the comments and it just amazes me that people think that you are letting the kids ride bikes in the road, they don’t have a helmet on, your son has no shoes on,…..I want to know when did it become okay to get in someones business like that? Do people not have some common sense left anymore? They act like you live on an expressway in a drug infested part with snakes. Go figure. People are strange.

We once had a garage sale. The front door, nothing special about it went first. Then the old toilet, the horrid and heavy tub and just about anything we’d ripped out of the house went first. What didn’t sell was the tons of children’s clothing that I ended up donated…. go figure.

I once put a pink toilet out on the curb without a sign. It was gone within 20 minutes. A big burly guy driving a boat of a blue Cadillac showed up, checked to make sure nobody was looking, tossed it into his trunk, and sped off… That pink toilet was quite a prize!

At least they spelled everything on their sign correctly.

People will take anything! We put a ceiling fan out for the TRASH MAN, as it no longer functioned correctly. It was gone in 10 mins.

Wonder how long it will sit there?

I know its not yours!!

I was asking if this is only a Southern thing. Where I grew up in Louisiana people would put those kinds of things out but they had to be duck taped closed, so no one (children) could get stuck in them.

And believe me after a long period of time with no power (after small hurricanes or tropical storms) you would just invest in a new fridge and roll the old one to the curb

Isn’t it illegal to leave appliances out on the street without the doors taken off?

Kim says:

We don’t even have to bother with the sign. We had a couple of rickety old chairs that finally collapsed when the kids were playing on them on day. We put them by the trash for bulk pickup later that week, and the next morning they were gone!

My mom had one that’s more than 30 years old, and it still runs- she gave it to the neighbors. I would totally try and pick it up! Extra freezers are a necessity when you costco shop like I do.

It’s interesting to see that. We put our old frig (worked fine!) on the curb with a free sign. No one took it. We changed the sign: ‘For Sale $50′. Someone stole it. I thought it was interesting…

KarenK–THAT is hilarious!

TheOtherJennifer says:

Heidi - definitely not just a southern thing. I live in the northeast and we put stuff out all the time. I must qualify though, that our stuff is very high quality - rarely broken, stuff like couches, doors, bookcases, etc. Right now I have a 6ft sliding glass door with frame out there waiting for someone to come get it. It is illegal up here, I believe, to put a fridge out without the doors OFF, not taped shut.

I love love LOVE KarenK’s comment!!! That cracks me up

kat says:

Did you take it? The sign is the best part. I wonder if people actually went to their door and asked but didn’t take?

For some reason I thought you would enjoy the story of this whackadoodle mom up here in ol’ NYC, where the SubZeros are thick under foot (stocked with organic no-sugar sustainably farmed items, natch): http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/16/nyregion/16bigcity.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper
