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.

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)
