I have to laugh because it's true. On our street everyone is doing heavy spring cleaning and Marie Kondo-ing all their shit. I grabbed a nice office chair being tossed out across the street. I needed one too, because the cushion on mine was breaking down. I left the trash picked chair on the front porch in the sun for a few days before bringing it inside. It's perfect. Gives good support without being too comfortable.
Yeah I was thinking all the thrift stores are going to be overwhelmed here when they reopen. Our trash collection will only take what's in your wheelie bin. Anything else you have to take to the landfill yourself and pay a fee. They don't get off the truck when they pick up.
