Another good idea, Aceshigh, though I think it might be unworkable for legal reasons (as you say), and also because of the extra work involved for the hard-working staff of these recycle centres.
An easier solution would be to ensure that members of the public do not go to a recycle centre with useful/re-usable/life-cyclable goods in the first place. The public's awareness of their environmental options is growing but needs to increase. The JumbleTown option seems convenient and sensible but unfortunately it isn't available to everyone because of issues surrounding computer access and, to a certain, the time that one needs to invest in managing one's posts/ads.
The public's attitude towards life-cycling and recycling is changing but more work needs to be done. Luckily, JumbleTowners are leading by example, and the situation can only get better.
