This is a really interesting contrast. For example here in the Netherlands, it's very common to leave leftover good furniture on the street in front of your house before you move away. Usually it's all gone in a few hours, giving things a new life in the hand of whoever needs it.

This is very common in the United States as well, I have gotten some great pieces this way. Best find ever for me was a Breuer chair ages ago
