What happens to junk left behind in foreclosed homes?

Here's a short news-piece on the stuff that's left behind by people when they lose their foreclosed homes, stuff that ends up in landfills because charity trucks can't get there fast enough to haul it away. It's an enormous amount of waste, but I understand the perspective of the foreclosed, who are moving to uncertain places and have to apply lifeboat rules to the stuff they take, since it's all a liability (space in a truck, space in a rented storage, space in a neighbor or family-member's home) until it lands somewhere permanent.
