Personally it bugs me more when nobody takes these machines than
it does when I'm not the one who takes them. :) In other words,
go ahead and use the approval process, and if that gives you an
occasional edge over everyone for picking up this or that, then
so be it.

Honestly people see these things that we all collect as garbage
anyway, so anyone who waits long enough and looks hard enough
will probably find exactly what they're looking for -- and with
little or no money required, usually.

Well, that's my opinion.
