Usually left over out front of a house after a garage sale or upgrade with a sign like you saw. Of course when I was broke and needed something like that free I never saw any. | ||

NYC
If and or when appliances hit the curb here they aren't there long on average. Roving bands of scrappers in particular illegals but increasingly anyone else are on them like a monkey to a banana.
Usually they just throw the entire thing into the back of a van or truck. Otherwise they are out there with a hammer and whack the thing to death in order to remove what they want. NYC recently enacted a law banning placing electronics out for curbside collection. You now must take them to special recycling centers. Some do but many just either put them out anyway or take them to a corner and "dump". Finally no small number of persons attempt to sell on appliances both working and not on eBay or CL. You see adverts for say a Miele washer and dryer set "powers up but drum does not turn... dryer is fine...). Oh and we are seeing more and more "Habitat for Humanity" type salvage construction stores in NYC. Places like the Big Reuse and Demolition Depot more and more are where contractors and others are sending appliances and other things removed during a renovation. | ||

I wonder???
i think it depends on stores somes stores pick up old appliances when ask but what do they do with them maybe the repair them and resell them as use refurbish i wonder or do they only recycles or salvages partsa that are still good? because i do think that some appliances deserve a second life think of all the familys that would like or love a use refurbish washer dryer still in good condition and working order like these vintage or old direct drives pictures as exemple of good washers dryers ect that deserve a second life use
