Curb Alert! FREE, FREE, FREE — get it before it's gone.
The Walnut Creek sales most likely to dump good stuff at the curb — mapped, so you get there first. The big stuff that doesn't sell usually hits the curb Sunday night / Monday morning.
A garage, yard, or estate sale means a household is clearing out — and whatever doesn't sell by Sunday usually ends up FREE at the curb instead of going back inside. Know which homes just had a sale, and you know exactly where to look.
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.
