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.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
