Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania
Is this theft?
Local ''clean-up day'' is today, and some people are taking garbage without asking. Is that theft in any form?

Nope, it is abandoned property. Although I think there may be some prohibitions against taking recycleable cans or papers in some municipalities.
