Have any of you picked up furniture from the side of the road?

Someone picked up a broken chair from the roadway that only lasted outside less than an hour before being picked up

How else do you get a free couch for your balcony in college?

I picked your old lady up off the side of the road. She lasted about 5 min. Head game on point cuh.

Not for myself. When I was in college I helped a couple of guys carry a couch to their apartment.

Ended up with bed bugs.

I picked up a broken chair on the side of the road and fixed it.
Sold it at a consignment store and pocketed 200 bucks for my time.

I've taken a good many second hand pieces of furniture from family, friends, and thrift stores but have yet to garbage dive.
That said, when I put out just about any bulk item on bulk garbage day (any furniture, broken lamp, broken fan, etc), it's usually gone in less than 1 hour.
I don't bother driving it somewhere to donate if it is useable. I know someone will pick it up from the curb if I just stick it out there.

You added too much. There was upvote potential here but you also insinuated that OPs girl can do a good job, which isnt true or he wouldnt be starting threads like these.
I liked it till it got to that part though.

I drive through Broadmoor just about every Sunday evening. I have found all kinds of stuff. Including a out 400 feet of old shiplap.

Sure, in my neighborhood its common for people to set out perfectly good stuff because they know someone will snag it within an hour. I got a perfect Ikea Poang chair frame and just bought a new cushion for it. I have the chair in my office. I also got a perfect set of ikea chest of drawers I use for my workout/cycling gear. I've also picked up some vintage metal outdoor "hotel chairs" and an Eames Lounger....well....its a knockoff but even those go for about $1000.

Me and a buddy picked up a 50 inch tv. Took it home but it didn’t work. We promptly brought it back and set it back out.

On a side note. Anyone know if Baton Rouge garbage will haul off a mattress if you put it to the road?

One time found an original Herman Miller Eames lounger ottoman set. $500 reupholster job, sold it for $2k to an antiques dealer in NOLA.

No but we put stuff out on the driveway all the time and it’s usually gone within 2 hours.

There’s always some Mexicans driving around scooping up furniture or anything big. Guessing they sell it

99% of my furniture in college(and a couple years after) was from dumpster diving/driving around and picking stuff up.

No, but I've stolen a giant 55 gal trash can from Alex Box parking lot for our college apartment.
