INC NEWS - piles of aluminum cans

[RW Pickle]

Tidewater Fiber Corp. does the recycling. Throwing away recyclable items
such as aluminum cans (at least in Durham) is against the law. It even
says so on the sticker on my trash can (that I use for household waste
disposal with the City). I don't know if it is illegal to stockpile (as
you suggest) aluminum cans in ones yard. I read in the Herald Sun today
that nude sunbathing in your yard is legal. So maybe aluminum can piles
are as well. It's private property and the laws tend not to infringe on
ones rights to do some things. I recall one neighborhood up in arms about
a series of painted bathtubs in a yard in their hood. Turns out it's art.
Maybe the cans are some work of a yet-to-be discovered metal artist. Who
knows. If they bother you, just go and talk to the folks and see if you
can recycle them.
