Wooden desk (new) & low side table (1075 Valencia Avenue)
Note: Today (Tuesday April 14), the junk haulers picked up most of the items I posted and photographed. Only the wooden desk (which the owner-dumper said was new), the white upholstered chair, and the low side table (which shows wear) were not taken by the junk haulers. The old post: Furniture, appliances, bedding, household items A neighbor just moved and left out a huge collection of household furniture and appliances. This includes a wooden desk with plastic top,, cleaning supplies, a mesh wastebasket, two floor lamps (an IKEA lamp with plastic shade, and a brass lamp with pleated fabric shade and small glass table attached at a chair or sofa level), three twin foam pieces, each with a fabric cover for a twin bed, a spin bucket for a mop, and a mop (detachable for washing) with pole, a floor fan on a stand, a wooden side table (photographed upside down), one large and one very large rolling suitcase, a large metal step-open trash can, a mesh metal wastebasket, floor mats, a plastic foldable foot rest for a desk, and more that is buried. The desk might have been a chest of drawers because it has two center shelves and a wooden strip at the base, but these can be removed to use as a desk. They are outside the middle dumpster shed (of three sheds) in the parking lot between Valencia Avenue, off South Mary Avenue, snd and Madera Avenue, off West Iowa in Sunnyvale. The parking lot is behind the Crosswalk Church parking lot. It is easier to enter through the Valencia Avenue end, next to 1075 Valencia Avenue, where you will see the church when you enter Valencia Avenue. The parking gate is open until about 4:00 pm on Tuesday (tomorrow) for trash collection and Wednesday for food scrap collection. There is also an upholstered white wooden chair covered with pillows outside the dumpster shed closest to the Madera Avenue end of the parking lot.
