Homeowners or tenants who practice the common and time-honored custom of leaving useful but unwanted items out on the curb for community re-use, rather than sending them to a landfill, deserve our appreciation.
Sometimes we can do a small thing for the environment, or to help poor people in our community, that costs very little, and can brighten someone's day with a street "find".

If items left out on the street are bothering you, you can sometimes get useful (or even apparently useless!) items removed more quickly by posting them on Craigslist.
They have an active free stuff page for people to list items being given away or discarded, where many people post about items left out on the street:
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/zip?query=free%20stuff#search=1~gallery
It costs nothing to post a street find, just go to https://www.Craigslist.org, click on "create a posting", and choose "free" under the "for sale" category.
It's a better place than this to find people willing and happy to take something off the street and reuse it – probably faster than government officials relying on public resources will get around to removal too.
Best of all, the items you list may find a better home than just getting sent to the landfill.
