We have all come across perfectly good furniture sitting out on the side of the road waiting for council collection.
Among the unwanted items left on the kerb, you notice a beautiful white cabinet that's in desperate need of a new lick of paint.
But are you legally allowed to take it home with you?
Turns out it's not as simple as someone's trash being your treasure because it really comes down to where you live in Australia, ABC News reported.

In Brisbane, residents are encouraged to take whatever they spot for kerbside collection on the condition they leave leftover items tidily stacked.
But if you're living in Darwin, the junk 'technically' belong to the person who put it there until council kerbside collection.
'If there is something in a pile that people would like to reuse, as a courtesy they should try to contact the person who put it there to ask if it is OK to take,' a City of Darwin spokeswoman told the publication.
Sydneysiders are allowed to take any unwanted item at their own risk while there are no laws preventing Adelaide, Melbourne or Perth residents from salvaging goods.
'Chucking out your unwanted items on the street is illegal. You could be fined $500 for it (up to $2,200 in some cases),' the City of Sydney said.
'There are better ways to get rid of your junk, like donating or reselling. You can also use our free weekly pick-up service.'

Only seniors and concession card holders are allowed to book a service for unwanted kerbside collection in Canberra.
The ACT government discourages residents from rummaging through other people's unwanted items.
'The public should be aware that they may be taking items that do belong to another person and should check with the residence prior to taking any items,' a spokesperson said.
The City of Hobart does not offer a kerbside collection service but residents can contact The Resource Work Cooperative to book a pick-up bulky household items.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
