Yes.
In New England, the "[Yankee] Swap Pile" (aka "Take it or Leave it" pile) is a deeply-ingrained tradition in myriad small towns.
Technically, in our long-time home town (Harvard, MA) the facility was not a true dump (landfill) but rather a "transfer station" -- the net result is the same. :)

(legacy photo of the Harvard swap pile on a gorgeous early summer day some some years back)

The town dumps up here tend to be the center of social and (especially) of political life, especially in the smaller towns.
The town where we now live in NH does not have a transfer station :(
Fortunately, our daughter & son-in-law's town (1/2 hour away) has one -- and, most summers (although not last year) have a pretty active swap pile, too -- to my wife's consternation ;)
(actually, I don't get to visit their transfer station very often -- but I do enjoy my visits there when the opportunity presents itself)

mhardy6647 is being too modest... the day that the photo of the Harvard MA transfer station was taken, he also made off with a Genelec subwoofer (seen to the left of the woman in the middle). (I am just envious because I used to live in the same town and never found any audio treasure in the same spot.)

These always looked like a home plywood project to me.

But I guess it works for people who like their speakers to not look like speakers?
They could easily pass as some kind of modified cabinet.

Or shipping crates.
