Saw a note on the notice board last week about Recycle Furniture or material in the Estate. The way it works as follow: If you are looking for a particular, fill in a form in the Estate Office and when someone abandon the thing that match, the Estate Office will contact you to have a look and decide if you want it.
So if you not sure how practical or how well the idea could be, why not get some inspiration from our friend Pascal from his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epe0ttiDotY
