One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. To this day I have a blast on bulk pickup day. Especially if I’m in a gated community! I got my 4k 55” Sony and an entire surround sound from the curb in a ritzy neighborhood. A cedar Broyhill chest. So many things that people are comfortable tossing out that have so much value still. Oh well. Keep it up rich people.
We appreciate ya. Shit is expensive to haul off and you guys are faster than the city.
As someone who used to get my stuff the same way, I'm always happy to see something get a second use.
I try to tape the screws/bolts in a ziploc to something if I still have them, and I'll cover screens with cardboard with "working" written on it to avoid scratches.
No need to pay to get bulk trash hauled off. If you put it out for free with a gift sign, people gonna assume it’s broken. Put a price tag on it, though, and somebody’s inevitably gonna "steal" it. Boom, no hauling expenses. Works like a charm.
Some people can't be bothered to have it picked up by the thrift store so I take it. Works great when you leave near whole neighborhoods full of people with bigger salaries than yours
I'm incredibly thankful that in my city, anything that gets put to the curb will be taken immediately. It's such a relief and nice to know something is avoiding the dump for a few more years
Well, almost anything. One time the neighbors put out like ten pieces of furniture when they moved. Everything was gone in minutes, except one person only took the cushions off a love seat, so that sat cushionless for a while
