Hi LRichard! Yes, you are exactly right - I should have explained better.
Things people would ordinarily throw out may be donated to thrift stores, which generally are adjuncts to charitable organizations. (They may even give receipts, for the tax purposes of the wealthy among us.) I have quite a few exquisite thrift store finds, mostly books and furniture.
