Across New York City, office furniture headed for the landfill is instead finding its way into NYCHA apartments, thanks to Regina Carter. With a rented U-Haul and a small crew, she collects what workplaces no longer want and delivers it to pop-up giveaways held throughout the city. The furniture changes address, not hands — from corporate offices to residents who need it. It is a small, steady operation, one truckload at a time.
