All of the first-of-the-month loads of trash and discarded furniture around the neighborhood, this one on Second Avenue between Ninth Street and 10th Street is the most impressive...
Thanks to Steven for the photo...
Looks like first of the month move out trash. Most desirable pile. That's the shit the pickers and food pantry thieves will be selling someplace tomorrow. They've already had a field day with it but there's got to be more stuff buried in there, finer items like cashmere sweaters or organic spices wouldn't surprise me. Could be a silver skull in front of the cardboard box. Two bucks for that depending on the quality.
I rescued unopened items for the food fridge. And spoke with one of the departing 20 something ing s. They say their items were going to the landfill. I asked where they thought the landfill was located they replied “ at the landfill “. A Scandinavian university did an extensive study on micro plastics. It said in 10 years, 60 percent of males would have more than half of their testicles containing micro plastics. So all of these kids throwing away their fast furniture and fast fashion will have kids with plastic balls. I think that is incredibly funny.
The kids throw away actual money. I was joking with a friend about the disgusting waste and opened a bag( carefully, without spilling) and there was several 1 dollar bills on the top.
In fact I have found cashmere sweaters, unopened Chanel and Olaplex products. In my building I try to tell the kids we have so many shelters in just a three block radius and please donate there or leave decent clothing, shoes, and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner,soap always apprecaited) in the lobby and I will bring them. For instance there is the Catholic Worker shelter for women on Third between First and Srcond Avenues, just knock on their door. Does anyone else care to list a place where you can donate? EVG it would be great if you could put up a list of places that take donations.
@10:52- I was only half joking about the sweaters. I've found amazing stuff that was being thrown out. Tons of it. Gilded mirrors, mid century furniture, vintage metal, unique edition art books......
You can donate stuff to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, Housing Works. Some places will buy gently worn clothing.
The sad thing is that it’s easy to arrange donation pickups with a few weeks’ notice. You can also join a buy notgroup and set up a curb alert if too busy to meet up.

Looks like a mountain.
Piles everywhere. Old lamps, disgusting couches, and the vestiges of once hastily assembled bookcases.
Please don’t anybody blame this on the mayor or the authorities. These are your neighbors doing this
