Well, Stephan, I on the other hand think the effort of the Town to set this up is a great idea. And since I don't dump the stuff in my trash or leave to decorate a roadside, our family has many more than five items. You are IMO missing the possibilities that this intake presents. If everyone has been hoarding old stuff in anticipation of an environmentally safe disposal, how in the world will one dumpster hold it all. And the prospect of seeing someone bring a 'mainframe' to turn in as one free item could provide real entertainment.
