The couch on the street

A couch rests against a pole on a street junction in San Francisco. That's a novel way of getting rid of unwanted furniture but I wonder who'll pick it up? For all I know, it could still be there with a family of squirrels living in it.

The same happens everywhere. Here in Ireland bed frames, mattresses and other other furniture can sometimes be seen dumped by the side of the road, usually in the country away from the watchful eyes of the authorities.
