In regard to being careful what you pick up, I once picked up a slipper chair in good condition, however, it needed to be re-upholstered. Before I could even buy fabric for the job, the little mice nest in the chair, had released baby mice all over my house!
Isn't it a God-send to find things you really need? He knows all of our needs and allows us to find them. I've helped so very many folks out this way for over 23 years, so I suppose this is one reason
He helps me out with things on the curb, now that I need them the most to replace things worn, broken,
obsolete, etc., and if personal, they're ALWAYS like new and just my size or the size of whomever I know.
Here in Texas, we can have ANYTHING we can use, need and carry away that's on the street "curb-side", if it's on the areas' "bulky pick-up day", but it's understood that we must not leave the site messy. Most folks seem happy to see them recycled, because, like you found, they're often times too good to see go to the landfill or worse, and often
just what we need! May God continue to bless you. : )
You need to be careful about doing this. It is against the law in some cities and towns. Not in the town I live in tho. I have done this myself, and have also set out furniture and big toys we no longer needed and everything went within a couple hours.
