Once it hits the curb, it's fair game. Problem for this fellow though is
that he is going on private property to get to the dumpster --

I think it depends on the city. We have plastic tubs we
set at the curb to separate recycle stuff from what's
going to the landfill and there is suppose to be a law
keeping people from driving around getting to anything
on the curb that has a value for recycle before the
trash people get it.
