We have dumpsters that are emptied twice a week. A few years ago the city stopped picking up things that are left outside the dumpster, and there is a $250 fine for doing so. If it doesn't fit in the dumpster we are supposed to take it to the dump. But there is a fee to use the dump, and if a person doesn't have a pickup truck to haul it, they must find someone to do it. I guess the people who dump large items have the truck to haul it, but don't want to pay the fee. Or maybe it is just more convenient to dump it along the road in the middle of the night.
