It’s commonly understood, at least where I live in the States, that if you are getting rid of something that still works you can leave it out on the curb for somebody else to take for free, sometimes with a note saying “Free” but usually without it.
When I was young and struggling I got most of my furniture that way. I still even have some of it
For our senior prank we went around for weeks picking up furniture left on curbs. We managed to set up full living room dioramas in front of the school with couches, recliners, coffee tables, TVs, etc. A bunch of people came back and used the furniture for their apartments when they moved out after graduation
Just beware what you grab this way as it’s a great way to spread bug infestations. A friend of mine kept having to deal with bed bugs and cockroaches in her apartment because a guy living down the hall liked to refurbish free furniture he found on the street and kept bringing new infestations in after they cleared out the last one.

Oh I never grabbed anything with upholstery, just tables and wood chairs and so forth
