One of the places had a big sign making the claime that it was stealing to
take anything in (I agree), on (maybe) or around (don't think so) their
drop-off dumpster. It's since been replaced with a big sign claiming
leaving anything on the ground is illegal dumping and will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.

YMMV, IANAL, etc., etc., etc. Remember, it's only wrong if you get caught!
