fullrace, as I mentioned earlier, check out freecycle. you just post your stuff and people will come take it. there are some rules like you cant just throw it on a curb and say first person to come take it gets it, but you can post what you have and people will answer and you commit to one person. it's not perfect, they dont show up sometimes, but it's worked very well for my wife and she's also gotten a lot of free stuff for the kids from it.

as far as garbage men, when we had private pick up, we used to leave the guys lottery tickets for christmas. they always took EVERYTHING after we started doing that. before, they'd leave stuff like a rolled up rug or mattress.
