Curb Alert! Free fridges, washers, dryers, AC units — gone fast.
The Downers Grove sales flagged for appliances — the fridges, washers, and AC units a yard sale can't move. The big stuff that doesn't sell usually hits the curb Sunday night / Monday morning.
Big appliances are expensive to haul and rarely sell at a yard sale, so they're the items most often dumped FREE at the curb — prime for reuse or scrap. These Downers Grove sales are the ones most likely to have them Monday morning.
Best time to look: Sunday evening once sellers pack up, and Monday morning before bulk pickup. Always grab from the curb/right-of-way, not the yard, and never block a driveway.
