On the sidewalk, mid-century end tables share space with old Chinese medicine cabinets. Down the street, antique chests patiently wait with vintage vinyls, paintings, and — oh yes — gorgeous motorcycles for new owners to come and pick them up. Because all of them are, surprisingly, free. One person's trash is another person's treasure, anyway, and strolling among streetside castoffs can sometimes lead to wonderful hidden gems.
Over recent years, stooping or curb mining — spotting discarded goods sitting out on the curbsides — has really taken off with scavenging enthusiasts looking for cheap and environmentally friendly ways to fill their homes with exciting treasures. And here's where the online group called 'Curbfinds' comes in. A community dedicated to sharing dwellers' best discoveries and giving bonus points to anyone if they "fix something that was broken, upcycle it, or recycle it."
Below, we've wrapped up a collection of some of their best posts, and it’s hard to believe what friendly strangers leave lying on the sidewalk! So continue scrolling, hit upvote on your favorite ones, and be sure to let us know if you've ever scouted out a great find in the comments.

I Run Down An Old Dirt Road. Trash Is Dumped There. One Day I Stopped And Found A Box Of Money
All the envelopes are different countries all over the world. Mostly date from the 1700s-1900s. The oldest is a coin from 1621. I’ve got some from countries that no longer exist. I’m still researching

I Had Put These In R/Thriftstorehauls A Bit Ago But Didn't Realize This Subreddit Existed. My Boss Was Getting Rid Of Some Things From His Mother's Estate And Brought A Bunch Of Stuff In With An Up For Grabs Sign In Our Conference Room. It Was Mostly Junk, Except For These Original Dalí Etchings

It’s safe to say that the 'Curbfind' group is changing people's attitudes toward giving new life to tossed furniture. The subreddit was originally launched in May 2020 and has gained over 12.6k devoted members sharing their unexpected finds with the community. It’s home to countless photos of people stumbling upon things people no longer need for others to enjoy.
So if you think there’s still a stigma around picking up discarded goods lying on the edge of the sidewalk, this page is getting rid of it one post at a time. A brief scroll through this list proves it’s virtually impossible to predict what will pop up on a curb in your city. In fact, these unlikely places seem to be treasure troves filled with exciting items ranging from beautiful furniture to electronics to the most insignificant things that are bound to bring their new owners joy.

It’s no secret that most people face an overwhelming accumulation of stuff, but members of this community are turning their unwanted valuables into money-saving treasures, grabbing unwanted pieces to decorate their homes and improve their lives. They obviously embrace the three Rs in environmental responsibility: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
See, stoopers contribute the environmental benefits of buying less new stuff and rescuing furniture, electronics, toys, and much more from a trip to the landfill. And as recent research has found out, they also feel a sense of satisfaction because of it.

A study by Sabrina Helm and her team at the University of Arizona looked at how consumer choices affect well-being. They found that reduced consumption — repairing or reusing things rather than buying replacements — is not only better for the planet but also makes people happier.
"Reduced consumption is more novel and probably more important from a sustainability perspective," Helm said, adding that it "has effects on increased well-being and decreased psychological distress."
According to Helm, having less and buying less can actually make people more satisfied. Because if you buy a lot of new objects, you also have a lot on your mind. "Maybe you have a lot of debt because you bought all that stuff, and now you have to manage all that stuff. It requires maintenance and being organized. It's not like you buy it and you're done with it," Helm said.

I learned how to reupholster furniture years ago. So happy for you - it's lovely.
But if you’ve ever started putting random household items on the sidewalk in hopes they’d disappear, you must wonder about these passerby scavengers who are happy to bring your possessions home. Well, Blu Dot, a furniture maker based in Minneapolis, did a "Real Good Experiment" in 2009 to find out what would happen if they left 24 designer chairs equipped with GPS tracking technology on the streets of New York.
Although the experiment served as a marketing campaign for the chairs, the researchers delved deeper into the curb mining phenomenon by adding hidden notes and asking the takers to be interviewed. "The key to this idea was involvement," Michael Hart, founder of branding firm Mono, said. "Not just them taking the chairs, but the whole community with this notion of an experiment and 'Where will the chairs go?'"
So Jonathan Levine, a veteran curb miner, noticed the chair and said it was too good to be there. He and his son have been stooping for several years, and some of their valuable finds include a pay phone, keyboard, and a working printer. "We see fax machines and printers all the time," he said. "There's also more competition since the recession began."

Looking through other people’s trash and nabbing used objects isn’t new. But competition in the curb mining business has been fierce for quite some time now. Over the past few years, stooping has become so widespread that it has attracted thousands of aficionados who transformed what used to be a niche activity into a phenomenon.

Found This Cedar Chest A Few Days Ago
Deborah Chapman 3 years ago
It was a custom for a young girl to be given a chest like that one. She would fill up with household goods that she would need when she got married. I had friends who had Hope Chests. She would put things like sheets or china. She was often given household goods for a birthday, Christmas or whenever they were on sale. The chest was referred to as her Hope Chest. I never got a Hope Chest. My dad was more interested that I would get a good education. I was told at the ripe old age of 4 that I was going to college and that was that. Btw, I grew up in Southern Indiana in the 50's and 60's. Also, I was the only girl in my class that got a college degree. In fact, I was so impressed with my father's words at the tinder age of 4 that I got 3 college degrees. I got 2 bachelors and a masters. I never got a Hope Chest but I did get a good education which served me well throughout my life.

My father bought his mother--my grandma--one when he was 14, in 1949, interestingly the year my mom was born. I got this when Grandma passed in 1997. It's one of my most cherished items. It is full of the stuff he wanted to keep of his mama's "stuff." All of it is still inside it--just because--and even more so now that my father also passed in 2013. I wouldn't take all the money in the world for it.

My parents bought my sister a Lane cedar chest back in 1971 as a wedding gift. I think it cost them $400 in 1971. We now own it.
SageHare37 3 years ago
Oh wow. A Lane! My mother told me these were *the* brand to have as a hope chest. Just be sure to have the lock modified with an internal safety release. I managed to score one as a teen at a yard sale, but it took a lot of work to revive. They are great for storing bedding.
But how does one become a good sidewalk sleuth? How can you know when you spot a quality piece before committing? The New York Times spoke with several expert stoopers who let curious readers into the nooks and crannies of their craft.
First, not only where you look, but also when is crucial. The end of the month as well as the weekends are always good times to go on a hunt, with people throwing out windfalls of unwanted stuff. For example, a writer and skilled scavenger P.J. Gach likes to pass luxury buildings in the early morning because exciting items usually land there before trucks come to collect them.

Then, it’s critical to investigate the quality of the piece. Bronwyn Tarboton, an actor with a dumpster-diving social media account, explained it’s best to pull out your phone and do a quick search if you’re unsure of the item’s state. "That way you can see how much something is worth, how much things are selling for," Tarboton said.
When it comes to furniture, "dovetail joinery on the drawers is a sign of real craftsmanship. A heavy item is likely better quality and sturdier than a light one. Check to see if it’s wobbly, and if the legs are in good condition." Most importantly, don’t forget to check for signs of bedbugs — "look along the seams for dark spots."

We have a huge box of lego. It started with my older sisters lego, she was born in 1956, so there’s some original lego in there. Then my brother’s lego (born 1960), then mine (1971). It stayed ay my parents house when we all moved out, and then our children all played with it when we visited. My parents passed so the box came to me as I had the youngest children (who were still kids). Now they are adults and their lego sets have been added to the box. Just waiting for grandkids now to play with it. Hopefully it gets passed along to each new generation for a while

When I was a kid a neighbour had a garage sale and there was a big box of Lego (at 20 year old pieces) for $50. My parents couldn't usually afford that much but somehow they had the money to buy it. My brother and I played with it for years, often fighting over particular pieces. Then we decided in our late teens to split it between us. After I left home, for some reason, I decided to give him my half of it and I have regretted it ever since!

Fleetwood Mac is such a good artist, as well as Abba and Michael Jackson.
Moreover, she always comes equipped with a backpack or a tote bag and a screwdriver, "in case she needs to disassemble an item to get it home. A tape measure helps, too, so you don’t end up bringing home a dresser that won’t fit through the door or up the stairs."
And lastly, familiarize yourself with stooping etiquette (yes, it exists!) One thing to look out for is missing drawers, they may be a sign of someone coming back for the rest of the piece later. Then make sure the item is clearly on the curb, otherwise it’s off-limits. And if other enthusiasts are already exploring the object you stumbled upon, they have first dibs. But if you were the one to spot it yet no longer feel interested in pursuing it further, let other people know. "Remember, something else is going to be down the road," Gach said. "There are thousands of leaning bookcases begging to be adopted."

Im só in need of One of those right now lol, i have a couple of cats, not yet neutered, and the male is starting to have insestuous thoughts about his sister ( same litter kittens ), and that would be a perfect " horny jail " for him untill this friday, he's getting " lighter " this friday.

Why couldn’t they keep their puppy? I’m going to upset myself now imagining all the horrible scenarios that could have happened.
TheEndIsNigh🇨🇦and🇬🇧in🇺🇲 3 years ago
It doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. At the beginning of 2020, someone's sister's, cousin's, friend had been out of work for several months and was struggling. A mutual acquaintance mentioned their friend was looking to rehome their pup due to financial difficulties, and the rest is history. I had lost my service dog, Big Sally, a few months prior, and was having a tough time. The little guy needed a home, I needed a buddy, and it worked out perfectly.😁 Now he has his service dog certs, and he even got an award from the local shelter for his love of being a "substitute mom" to bottle kittens. Super happy ending 🌈❤

I’m not crazy about crates because they are easy to misuse. That being said I have seen a lot of dogs enjoy their crate time. It’s their safe spot from all the hustle and bustle of being with family. Throw a blanket over the crate and it becomes a homey cave.

Hampton Bay Trash Find
Kate Jones 3 years ago
You know, I've always preferred to buy quality outdoor furniture for my kitchen table/chairs because it's always so much cheaper than shopping in the kitchen section, it's more durable and generally more comfortable. With a little bit a money, you can replace all of the cushions whenever you want without worrying what you bought won't match/get stained. If you're looking for a nice table and chairs, and you're on a tight budget, try looking in the clearance section around this time of year for summer outdoor furniture. In some cases, you'll get some amazing looking things that no one would even know were outdoor. In the picture listed you can tell because it's metal all around but you can get some nice wood ones, too.

I'd like to see the other side of the 'curbside finds' coin all about things left outside and taken while the owners were taking the rest of their new purchases into their homes. Example: 'Had a sofa and armchair delivered. We carried the chair up to our apartment, came down to find the sofa had gone'. Mind you, it would be adding insult to injury if it went on to say 'and the next time we saw it, it was a feature on 'curbside finds'.
