we don't have enough information yet.  For all we know, These could have been from a private parking lot or electrical contractor, or someone stole a city or power company vehicle that had these used fixtures on them and decided to dump them there.  I don't believe the city would have done this.

Quote from: GE101R on July 05, 2019, 01:14:18 AM Plastic A/E durastars. No salvage value so they probably dumped them thinking some poor soul would get them and try to make some change. Whoever dumped these took the ballasts and wire out for scrap and dumped the rest! Ballasts aren't great money but there was probably enough scrap value to buy lunch and to a scrapper every thing adds up !
