I noticed here in the US and my husband said that specially here in Chicago people just throw their stuff away when they move or when they just don’t like them anymore. Like recently a company in our neighborhood moved to a new location and some of their office furniture were just left in the dumpster and sidewalk. I mean, those furnitures were only slightly used and still looked very nice. If only we have a bigger space in our apartment I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a furniture.
