monitors (but not lizards)
In Ocean Township, the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month are bulk trash day. This means that you can put your "bulk trash" (which is "large non-metal items") out on the curbing the night before, and some nice trashpeople will come by in the morning and take it away for you.
This is, of course, fantastic, but there are certain weird rules that need to be followed.
For example, my family tried to get rid of some old tires. However, we could not put the tires out on the curb until we'd separated the rubber from the metal wheel. This is, unfortunately, a service that local shops will not provide for free. On top of THAT, the trashpeople are only allowed to take three tires at once. Three tires? THREE TIRES?! What on earth is the point of that?!
Anyway. This photo was just too cute to pass up. What sort of suburban residence has that many monitors to begin with?

Are those monitors still working? Mmm...
How about the new light bulbs that you can't brake or through out.
Layrayski- Dunno. Didn't try them. Probably. But they're in the back of a trash truck by now.
TOG- Those would probably be Hazardous Waste, to be properly disposed of at the Hazardous Waste Facility.
I was just wondering coz I'm coming from a poor country and it seems like a waste (pun not intended)to throw them out. I'm sure those speakers attached to one of the monitors could still work!!! (ok so I'm sounding like a scavenger)
Btw, thank you for the wonderful comment on my site :D
We scavenge here, too. The first time I passed these monitors, there were some folks in a pickup truck driving around the neighborhood and loading up anything salvageable. I had to come back a little later (after they'd left) to get this shot.
But this photo kind of supports all the negative stuff you've heard about Americans, huh?
Yeah, if something's left out on the street overnight it's certainly gone by morning around me (in the suburbs). Usually that's why I throw big things out if I have to; you know someone's going to pick it up and use it.
