The closest town to us has "spring clean up" where all of the residents put larger stuff out on the curb one week, it sits for a week for people to "curb shop", then the city hauls it to the dump. Rumor is you don't want to leave your lawnmower in your front yard, even for a minute, that week.
I did pick up a push mower once that was under a pile of trash. I had a good motor at home, but the deck had rotted away, so I was planning to swap. I pulled the plug, and the "new" mower passed the thumb-over-the-spark-hole compression test, so I wiped the plug off and put some clean gas in it.
