Your trash is private property, says Oregon Supreme Court
Your trash is private property, says Oregon Supreme Court
If you leave your garbage and recycling on the curb, in a container you can't see through, and the lid is down, you're the only one who can sift through it. The Oregon Supreme Court made that decision Thursday. In the decision, the court cited two cases, one involving newspaper reporters rooting through city official's trash, another with police asking a garbage company to bring them some trash that might have evidence in it. Now, both of those things are illegal.
