I'm more worried about the perverse incentive structure.

Like when high value items are "dumped" and when the "garbage" is stolen, or when landfill owners take a kickback?

Or the bags could be donated to charity. Allowing profiteer off other people's misfortune is unethical and creates perverse incentives.

sounds good to me. Then nobody's making money off of stolen goods except the landfill.

So you want to buy stuff that the landfill owner sells?
