I furnished my whole apartment with secondhand stuff back in 2018. It takes a few months to get everything you want in the condition you want it in, so it may be worth checking these sites on rotation daily/a few times a week.

-Craigslist, got a shocking amount of nice stuff off the "free" section

-Freecycle.org

-Nextdoor

-FB Marketplace/Buy Nothing groups

-MaxSold, learning curve with online auctions but amazing furniture

Good luck.

8/31. The day when everyone moves out and leaves all their shit behind.

It’s really more like the 12 days of Allston Christmas, starts about 8/20 (when people start curbing things they don’t want to move) and continues until the trash day after 9/1

There is also the May version of Allston Christmas. You will see stuff being left out a bunch then too. Throughout most of the year people will put stuff out. Remember to check different neighborhoods
