Round here (and maybe everywhere (there has been a lot of "upcycling" (maybe the wrong term -) where people advertise stuff they don't want and invariably someone else does, all for free. I've seen mattresses, fridges, carpet offcuts etc go, as well as some really decent stuff - a working slimline dishwasher went in no time this morning.
I've got rid of lots of stuff, including 6 sacks of soil, some old games, some electricals (working but old, but do make sure you say they aren't tested), half cans of oil, a box of computer oddments.
Apart from the convenience it saves it all going to landfill, which I like. But you may have too much.
People are doing "covid friendly" pickups - they tell you when they are coming and you leave it outside for them to pick up. Sometimes you get a thanks note afterwards, sometimes not.
Freegle is the one I use tho there are others.
