That works unless you want to pitch something that really is trashed and un-donateable, like an electronic thingamabob that burned out. Now you’re stuck with an orphan hunk of junk. I’m not highly persuaded that such items are significant hazards to the health of humans or wildlife. It would make more sense to engineer a route between the garbage man and Goodwill (and the like) and let the rubbish collection customer set out what they will.
None of the electronics I donated worked. G & VOA work with recycle folks.
