#2In Paris it's free, you just have to go on this website and tell what you are throwing away:

BTW in the URL: "&form=ramen" I suppose that the developer was hungry.

#3So they pick up someone's trash and give it to some non-profit as a donation?
Poor non-profits. It will cost them more to sort through and dispose unwanted items than the value received.

Probably a concatenation of RAMassement d'objets ENcombrants.

#5As my wife and I are currently going through Mari Kondo's http://tidyingup.com/ process, this would be great to have in London.
Recycling is generally great here, but there are certain things that are actually quite valuable, but are just way too much hassle to get rid of one-by-one.

Sounds like they're sorting through the contents: "We'll give away or properly dispose of your items."

Disposing items properly costs money. Donating items doesn't. So the incentive for them is to "donate" as much trash as possible. Then non-profit org will have to deal with it.
Sorry, I just don't like non-profits being treated as a free dumping site.

I hear your concern and I hope they have no intention of treating non-profits as a free dumping site. I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and not just assume the worst of them.

#9Would be nice if they gave receipts for tax purposes, like the Shyp/Goodwill partnership did: http://blog.shyp.com/goodwill/

#10My first thought from "properly dispose of, we don't want it in landfills" was, this is for hazardous waste -- you know, that box of old paint cans and dead SLA batteries that you know your city has a plan for, if only you could be bothered to figure it out. If not, maybe the website should make that more clear.
