Common in American English, but not in Australian. Americans use it when talking about things they're throwing away -- usually large-ish, broken type things in a garage. As in, "What should we do with this old fan that's missing the front part?" "Ah, pitch it."
Australians are familiar with "ditching" -- but that's more often a someone than a something. Instead of pitching, they're more likely to chuck something or bin something (yes, "bin" as a verb).
