Curb Surfing 

The process of going through residential neighborhoods just before the city sanitation trucks pick up “bulk trash.” Those items that will not fit in the homeowner's regular trash container are considered “bulk trash.” The residents are instructed to place those items on the curb in front of the house and at a scheduled time the city will pick up everything and dispose of it. The goal is to beat the sanitation truck to the neighborhood so the items on the curb can be searched before the truck arrives.

Here in Dallas Texas, we have been curb surfing since the late 1990s.
Hey Pero, I’m looking for a bicycle lets go curb surfing in Gilbert's neighborhood tonight since bulk trash is picked up in the morning.

curb shame

Embarrassment at waiting on the curb obediently as other pedestrians ignore the "don't walk" signal in the absence of traffic.
I couldn't stand the curb shame any longer so I crossed with everyone else, even though I needed a break from running all around town.
