Here in NL it is technically forbidden by law, but a long standing practice (older than the bloody government). They're now looking into changing the law to allow it.
In Ottawa, I have noticed that people who have good stuff out with their trash tend to set it out separately from the trashcan so people can see it.

Dumpster-divers are welcome to my trash. It's the cheapest form of recycling.

Yes, the free furniture bazaar. In the 'burbs, this is commonly a yearly event in spring right after the first round of garage sales. In the city, this happens year round as people switch apartments.

I just moved into my own apartment, and got an awesome pink 50's child's toy refrigerator to use as an endtable by grabbing it off the street. But then again, it did have a "Free" sign on it.

I believe it depends on where you are in the US. I'm pretty certain that trash put out in front of your own house here is still your property until it is taken away.
As someone said, its public and that is why police does not need a warrant to search it.

Of course trash containers INSIDE your property/house are still your property ...
