Once a year we used to clean out our homes completely and everyone put things they couldn't use anymore (not garbage), at the end of their driveway. All the neighbors citywide would go curb cruising and pick up what they liked, no charge of course. You would see furniture, appliances, clothing on hanging racks and small items. It benefitted everyone including those less fortunate. When we came here I thought people must regularly be used to this because anything good on recycle day disAppeared quickly.
I like that someone gets use out of an item rather than trashing it and as long as curb cruisers don't get more aggressive and come up the driveway, I'm okay with this along with putting some items in classified for free.
