Police Arrest Me For Taking a Bike Out Of The GARBAGE!! "North Arlington NJ"

Every trash day my neighborhood get at least 3 trucks full of tweakers digging through everyones trash,if they dont find anything they start stealing out of yards,we cant put our fucken trash out till just before the damn garbage truck comes

Outside the container its fair game. Inside the container its illegal. Law class 101.

LOL. You are fucking retarded. The Salvation Army is not an actual army of trashpickers paid to sort through trash at the dump. Fuck you are stupid.

U r koo koo!

And then there are people here who think they should be thanked by someone taking something they put in the garbage. lol

All depends.
If its on my property then its mine and only I decide if and what I want someone to pick if anything. There is a deal with garbage company where you specify how they pick it from you. When they come its their property from that moment.

Its NEVER public property here. There are public garbage dumps but those in fact have an owner. ALWAYS. There is the owner and company which is assigned to it. There are specific deals that say who is responsible for which part and the garbage is never 'free'.
Throwing garbage is a crime if you do not pay and you always have place for it. More. You need to utilize everything. You pay fee for TVs bikes furniture etc. You cant just put it anywhere like that. Many ppl do it but its illegal. You can give it to charity or make a free advert in local press or net but you cant put it openly in public (only on private property).
There are also more and more closed 'public' garbage dumps making it obvious its not free stuff. They try to close all of them. There is in fact no 'public' garbage and trash. There is always an owner and there are alway independent companies who utilize and pick it. In fact it isnt a public service but private business.

I know many are doing it ignoring the law and its mostly ignored. Its just minor crime here and police mostly do not care. It slowly starts beign put in use and Im happy bout that since Im tired of garbage beign thrown around and the mess that the divers make.
You wanna something free? There are other ways of getting it.

How do you know the garbage man isn't picking up your credit card numbers? Or perhaps an employee at the local sorting facility?

You're the one stupid enough to throw away sensitive documents. It's called a shredder. Buy one, they're $20 on Amazon.

The bigger story is why are you promoting your blog, instead of sharing your story? You never relinquished if it was your garbage or someone else's and what your state, city, or town ordinances/laws are. Most want to stop trash pickers because they loose money. Bikes are usually made of metal, scrap metal =$.

Was it subside or near the home?

Hey, with all this talk about identity theft, I have a question. If I can't even get credit in my name how in the heck is someone rifling through my garbage for info going to be able to open an account using info they find? I can't even get a Target or Sears charge card much less a major credit card, they keep telling me that they can't give me any credit because I don't have a credit history???!!!! Catch-22!

Anyway, around here if it is on the curb it is free for the taking. OP must live in a low crime area if the cops are coming out in force for trash picking! Here there is too much murder, robbery, rape, and mayhem for them to deal with to bother with silly crap like that!

You know damned well I was NOT advocating putting personal information whole into the trash!

Just don't believe for one minute because it's shredded that means it's safe.

You prove Polack's aren't very bright. First you argue that trash is NEVER public property, then you bloviate on your countries "intelligent" manner of making people pay to throw anything and everything away, and then you ADMIT that it doesn't fucking work and your country is literally one giant dump because things get thrown wherever and yet you use this as why people SHOULD NOT pick up trash.

Holy fuck, go attack a german panzer on horse back again.

same same

Yeah, that'll work.

No one has ever put shredded shit back together especially when all the pieces are neatly packed into the same bag!

Dumbasses!

Our garbage belongs to the city as soon as its on the curb for pickup. I've never heard of anyone getting arrested for taking it though.

One thing I never got is why that strip of land between the sidewalk and the street belongs to the city but we have to keep it mowed. The sidewalks, I can understand the right of way but wtf is up with that small strip of land?

Our old house when surveyed showed that we owned to the middle of the road. I wonder if the city found out.. if we wouldn't have to keep it paved and plowed.

Back to the garbage thing: I think they make it theirs to prevent pickers from taking thing from it.. you know, to keep them safe. I'm sure if someone did get hurt, the insurance company would get involved. IDK, seems like a whole lot of nothing and an arrest.

I didn't watch the video though.. so I'll assume there was some kind of charge for obstructing administrative functions or some other blanket for an arrestable offense. I could imagine a ticket for this but arrest?

So in other words, shitty people ruin it for honest people?

Putting your garbage out is basically acknowledgement that you DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT ANYMORE, why is it that some of you get asshurt whenever someone decides to pick out some metal from it?

"ohhh but my documents!" Then stop throwing your documents in the trash and make a separate bin you burn/shred them in?

"Ohhh but hes on my land" Well I can agree that if your garbage isn't near the road then I guess thats a different story. However, if your garbage is at the top of the driveway then I think its time to deal with it.

Why get mad when someone is making better use of your trash?

I bet your happy that this happened so you would have another chance to try and pimp your shitty blog some more "PLEASE CLICK HERE"

You do know god let that happen to you, do you still love him?

Lol what a joke. Some Mexicans here do nothing but drive around all day without licenses sometimes even license plates looking for metal that people throw out in the street. Then at night they actually start going through the garbage.

I just have one question for all the assholes that are screeching in this thread about "stealing" garbage...

When cops do not have a search warrant and they decide to take someones garbage from the curb to gather evidence if they can.. is that stealing as well?

or is it OK because they are an arm of government and you sheep have been told to lie down and shut up.


So a poor person picks through your garbage and gets some things to recycle or a cop picks through your garbage looking for things to hang you... both took your garbage... which one is stealing?

pretty funny watching this thread...you cant pick trash off the curb because it is the trash companies or townships property at that point, not yours, once you put it to the curb it no longer is, as for place some towns have ordinances some dont so it is not uniformly illegal, as for assholes, saying dont touch my trash, go get laid man all that pent of frustration leads to small dick syndrome from beating it too much

So wait, you put a bike with the garbage. I don't know how it is in the USA but whenever you put something in the garbage you expect it to be gone right? You don't want that thing anymore hence why you throw it in the garbage.
So instead of it being molten down and shipped off to some factory somebody picks it up and uses it for a couple more years. Where is the crime in that? How is it stealing someone's property?
It might be the law in the USA but it seems totally illogical to me. I certainly don't throw stuff away expecting it to be still my property. If I throw something away I just want it out of my house, if it ends up in the hands of a normal person, a crack junky or a garbage collector does not matter one bit to me.

People in rich communities in south florida throw away anything and everything from NICE electronics to VERY NICE furniture, printers, TV TVstands NOT BECAUSE ITS BROKE, because its 1year old they need more space for something else. Beds/mattresses Refridgerators---not because its broke, BECAUSE the fan is clogged and they dont know how to unclog it. They place it near the trash in their driveways. People specifically drive around rich neighboorhoods SPECIFICALLY to go through other peoples trash with a pickup and pick other peoples trash up and resell it.
Rich people buy birds and a bird cage, bird dies a month later, they were to busy for them poor things, so they put the big bird cage only a month old near the trash.
Also bicycles thrown away---becuase it had a flat tire.
Treadmills----not because it was broke, because he butt couldnt be toned down even more, so she buys a better treadmill and places the old one near the trash.
A weird looking guy in a small truck comes around starring at yards at 7am and starts picking stuff up.

Poor People are not cops , shut the fuck up and get the fuck out failtard

So your answer would be that it's "OK because they are an arm of government and you sheep have been told to lie down and shut up" then? Keep believing that the government is only here to help. Eventually it might be true.

You are correct. I'm a handyman by trade, my father a master carpenter. We many times would pay junk haulers to come and take out stuff from a job site.

Back when a bunch of houses got flooded in our area, we worked to restore basements, and LOTS of scraps were hauled off by junk haulers.

We'd either let them haul it for free, or pay them a few bucks to do so. I'm sure they made off fairly well, considering the large quantities of scrap metals they would take.

you are a good slave

No, I don't think you are correct. I haven't seen ANYONE here suggest they should be THANKED for taking someones elses trash.


In fact, most people who dumpster dive are embarrassed that they have to. As if the shame isn't enough, you have rude assholes who would actually CALL THE COPS on people too poor to afford new or even used stuff.


I dated a girl who came from a poor family. Her and her brother would dumpster dive. Not from residentials, but from businesses. What surprised me was how awesome a lot of the stuff they got was.

We do not need people like you so full of hatred! You will "put people down" who approach you? WTF kind of statement is that! No, the world can do WITHOUT people like you in it-PART of the PROBLEM-NOT part of the solution!

If I put something out in the trash and you want it, take it.

Dumpster diver!
