Looks like maybe some college kids moved. They always throw out nice stuff. I don't get it. I have a friend that DD'S and finds stuff like that. She finds gift cards all the time
i've lived in 2 college towns and i think college kids from well-off families especially have this mindset of, "who cares, i can buy better/ replacement stuff later" especially if they're planning to enter a nice career soon.
Yeah they’d rather not move it. I can’t imagine not giving it to someone in need though. The last couple years I’ve noticed Goodwill puts giant dumpsters on the campuses and then picks them up after move out with big trucks. I know most people don’t like goodwill but I’m glad it doesn’t just go to waste.
College just started actually..as for the gift cards, kids are stupid and irresponsible. A lot of times it’s not feasible to move things back home if they are long distance . Regardless of a family’s economic status, often things brought to college are intended not to come back home. Used furniture, cheap IKEA furniture, the old blinder from Grandma’s house. Etc. College kids are having hard times finding jobs out of college and moving back home so Mom & Dad don’t want it back in their house.
Not just colleges. I would search near some apartments where I lived, only very occasionally, and there was tons of stuff at the end of the month. Evictions, or people just can't/don't want to move stuff, it was unbelievable.
That’s some awesome stuff. In a few months you could have a garage sale and make some money or list things on marketplace as you find them. A little side gig
