I've been following someone doing this and saw them stop, grab a couch, drive 3 more blocks, stop, take that couch out and leave it on the curb and grab a different one.
At the University of South Carolina, they make money off the students moving out. It is like a giant yard sale. The students can (but don't need to) leave whatever they like behind at the end of the year. "Shoppers" go room to room in the dorms and pay as they leave.

Very different from my college days when I could not afford to leave anything behind.
