My sister's (upper middle class) neighborhood is like that too! Folks cruise the streets on Sunday nights because people put their trash on the curb for Monday collection day.
We have a spot in my building, it's a little table in the lobby, where you can place things you would like to give away. We also place magazines there after we've read them, because one of my neighbors takes them to the V.A. when we are done with them.
When my grandmother passed away and we needed to clear out her whole house, my mom found an organization that came and picked up her dining table and chairs, some pots and pans and a set of dishes. They set up apartments for refugee families and we thought that was a great place for my grandmother's stuff to go.
Could you please forward the urge to me? I have a LOT of stuff that needs moved o-u-t.
