20 Trash Treasures People Found On The Side Of The Road In New York City

If you don’t know what ‘stooping’ is, it’s an old New York tradition where people leave their unwanted furniture on the sidewalk for other people to take free of charge. You can actually snag some pretty good stuff this way but since NYC is such a large city, cruising around looking for stuff can be quite time-consuming. That’s why someone created an Instagram page dedicated entirely to sharing the ‘trash treasures’ that are currently waiting for their new owners on the sidewalks of New York City.
