MH> The rule of thumb is that if it's out on the "curb" so to speak you
MH> can take it but if the dumpster is on private property, behind a
MH> store, etc. you can't.  The federal ruling was from an FBI case where
MH> they found evidence by going through the guys trash and he fought it
MH> on the grounds that the trash was "private".  He lost of course.
