It's that time of year again, when all the junk you collected over the year gets kicked to the curb and someone, either a lucky passer by or the garbage truck comes along and picks it up. This year I managed to get rid of a lot of old computer stuff, not even 5 minutes after I drag it to the curb, it's gone. I think we need a better facility for junk exchange, most of what wealthy people throw away is still perfectly useable, or in need of repairs that some would be willing to perform, and it makes sense ecologically to extend the useful life of stuff before it ends up in a landfill. I suppose large economic interests that rely on the low-medium income bracket purchases would be affected, so they would probably be opposed to any such facilitation.
