Germans have Sperrmülltag (junk collection day) and I always stop and take a look, a lot of what they throw out is nicer than anything I have ever owned. Got end tables for myself and GF and a wooden chair or two.

Things I’ve found included a Poäng chair that needed minor repair - had to drill out a broken bolt and replace it, which was easy enough and picked up a new cover for it at IKEA, a fully functional microwave oven, laundry hamper, couple end tables, an HP F2280 all-in-one printer, a genuine Mathmos lava lamp (still working great, too), a snowboarding jacket (had to fix the pockets and replace the velcro), a leather flight jacket and a German all-season military parka, with winter liner - had to get the zipper replaced on it and a table lamp.

It’s amazing, to me at least, what people throw away here.
