As to the original topic. I have never seen anything wrong with dump picking so I am happy to see the pickers prevail. Over my many years, I have picked quite a few things from dumps scrap metal piles etc.
It has been quite some time since I have been to it, but the Campton dump actually had / has a small shed where people can leave items their throwing away and then other people are free to pick those items up and take them hope if they so choose.
I do understand the liability concern of having "Joe resident" get injured rummaging around a pile of scrap metal etc. And I am not really sure the best way to deal with that issue.
I am not the lawsuit happy type, If I hurt myself digging out a useful piece of scrap metal, so be it ! Throw a band aid on it and move on.

Well, after I added my post I went and read the article and it states clearly what is being done to reduce or eliminate the towns liability. It all makes perfect sense to me. Go Pickers !
