Like everything else, it depends. Before moving to the villages, I am a pack rat, we did several garage sales and I did thousands per day. Aside wife screamed throw it out.
As i said I had a lot of stuff. We loaded up the car, wife screaming all the way-throw it out. I went to a metal recycler and handed her roughly $500 for what she want to take to the dump.

You are better off if you try to get other neighbors interested in doing one. Several homes will attract more buyers and hopefully prevent neighbors from objecting to the intrusion.

Depending on what you have, I think the Baptist Thrift Store off Citizens blvd or Habitat for Humanity will pick it up at your home-furniture.
