Funny story - I used to live somewhere very central in London.

I noticed there was this one spot that always had something there.

After living there for about 2 years I knew it was THE SPOT.

So when it was my turn to move out, I had to get rid of all my furniture and thought I'd give it a go: over the course of a day I got rid of two 3x3 ikea kallax, a 2m cupboard and a tv amongst other stuff. An old woman even tried to tell me off for illegal flytipping but the ONLY time anything lasted more than 30 mins was when a guy found the 2m cupboard and was organising a car to come pick it up for him. And he stood there protecting his quarry for about 1 hr (I could watch the spot from my balcony)

My fav was actually helping to carry one of the kallax shelves about 400m to the other guy's house with him.
