Every neighborhood has its seasons, and if you pay attention, you’ll notice patterns. Spring clean-up days, college move-outs, estate sales — they all add up to piles of free stuff sitting on curbs. Furniture, tools, books, even unopened pantry goods.
Spring Cleanups: Old yard gear, chairs, tables — free if you grab them.
College Move-Outs: Dressers, microwaves, half-decent couches. Students ditch more than you’d believe.
Estate Clear-Outs: Whole kitchens of dishes, tools, sometimes unopened food.
Don’t wait for luck. Build a scavenger map of when and where it happens in your area. Once you know the cycle, you’ll never miss out again.
