正解来了。原文已贴在下面，原网页见：http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011- ... -scavenging/2647688
为懒得看英语的总结一下：
1. 只要是在放在路边给康嫂清理的都可以拿。在私人土地上的不可以。
2. 放在路边，但是本意不是给康嫂拿的，比如搬运工临时放的，不可以拿。
3. scavenging is ilegal是一个urban myth（警察说的），一般来说只有对人家垃圾桶进行scavenging是违法的。
4. 个别康嫂有by-law禁止拿，因为他们派的人自己想卖钱。
5. 上次捡垃圾被抓的男人被放出来了。警方说他们误抓了。
好了，不用多说了。该扔的童鞋继续扔，该拿的同学继续拿，该加分的同学继续加吧。

Arrest raises questions over scavenging

Illegal dumping outside Mullumbimby Showground Photo: Police say the idea that items abandoned on nature strips are council property is an urban myth.

The arrest of a Melbourne man, who says he took a vacuum cleaner from a hard rubbish collection, has raised questions about the legality of scavenging abandoned goods.
Police questioned the man after the vacuum cleaner was taken from outside a house in Kimberley Drive, at Chirnside Park in Melbourne's east, about 12:15am.
Earlier today police were reported as saying that stealing from a nature strip was considered theft of council property.
But Victorian Police Superintendent Jeff Forti says the 58-year-old man from Lilydale has not been charged, and was released after speaking to police.
"He claimed that he'd collected [the vacuum cleaner] from hard rubbish collection, and inquiries need to be made to see if that's true," he said.
"If the property had in fact been abandoned by the owner, then there would be no theft and there would be no further police action.
"If the property came from elsewhere or hadn't been abandoned by an owner, then we would proceed with the charge of theft."
Superintendent Forti says the idea that items abandoned on nature strips are council property is an urban myth.
"If the property has been abandoned, it doesn't have an owner any more. Anybody can come and take it and it's not theft," he said.
Len Cox, the deputy mayor of Yarra Ranges Council, where the man was arrested, says the council does not know what prompted police to get involved.
But he also rejected suggestions that hard rubbish belonged to council once placed on a nature strip.
"Council does not have a local law to prohibit people taking items put out for hard waste collection," he said in a statement.
"Any items placed out for hard waste collection remain the property of the resident until collected by the contractor."
Controversial practice
Monash University's Ruth Lane has interviewed Melbourne residents about their attitudes towards hard rubbish collection.
She told ABC News Online that many residents are happy for their neighbours to go through their rubbish once it is out on a nature strip.
But some people do not like people scavenging through items left outside their homes.
"It leaves a bit of a mess in the streets," she said.
"Some people feel that's it's associated with a few unsavoury characters coming into the neighbourhood. It makes people feel a bit anxious."
She says contractors first send out trucks to get scrap metal - the most valuable part of hard rubbish - and the rest is usually taken to landfill.
Dr Lane says in some council areas it is quite legal to scavenge. Other councils have by-laws that assign the right to collect to contractors alone.
Municipal Association of Victoria president Bill McArthur says people who take valuable goods reduce the chance councils will offer collection services.
Mr McArthur says scavenging makes the service less viable, and makes contractors less interested in taking on the job.
"For the contractor there is the chance to actually make money out of the recycled materials: the scrap metal and other salvagables," he said.
"Anything that makes the service less attractive to contractors and less viable, it lessens the chance of the community being able to utilise a service such as this."
