I found a bag full of bricks on a trash sale, for €10. It turned out to contain 90% of a 7745 train, and a lot of other train stuff. The seller rescued it from a container, where a family was cleaning out a deceased's house. They only pulled out 1 of the LEGO bags in the container, on a whim, not wanting to drag more. The seller tought I was an idiot who overpaid. I tought I was lucky to find my childhood dream train.
Who's throwing away their legos? Random assortments of pieces sell for for like $5 to $10 a pound, where I live.

It happens.
I'd be surprised if landfill wasn't the most popular outcome when people with lego die.
Anyone with less than two pounds, I’d imagine.

Who disassembles them all? That seems to be a serious chunk of the effort.
