A brand new computer desk...a lamp that looks kinda like sputnik...a TV...plywood thats good for painting on...an antique sewing machine...all kinds of crap...
i partake in both diving and taking ide have to say it is fun plus you can reap the benafits i have found everything imaginable in the trash my fav thind is a bunch of spongie foam blocks cuz i made an awesome foam pit to jump into
haha i just recently found a penis pump in the garbage and the kids house who we were at is some kid i know from school
i've never done it, but i have heard of all the cool stuff people find. i would be afraid that i would just end up covered in used cat litter or something, lol.
People are very wasteful in America. Luckily for me, some have never learned to fix something that's broken and only needs minor repair. Over the yrs my family has gotten TV's, bikes, lots of kids toys, tons of clothes & shoes, enough books for a library, toaster, blender, pots & pans, kids school desk, and once even a computer.
when kids go home from college is the best time...they throw away all the good stuff they bought with daddy's hard earned cash... like sound equipment, tvs, and computers, even the desk and bed. Talk about wastefull America.
No, they're not kidding. My parents have been using me to go dumpster diving since I was a small child. They'd stick me in there and say "Nathan, go get that lamp!" lol Good ol' times. And, don't think I'm kidding.
^^^not really. I've found porn, an old 60's stereo cabnet, a guitar cab(it did'nt work), and my most prized possesion, a trs-80. Yes, I kick that much ass. It was totally fine too, a little dusty. The resest button was stuck down, so it would'nt start. Christ, some people are so stupid. I've found alot of office crap, computers, cables, printers. They pretty much just rip the hard drive out and chuck everything in the trash. You're really supposed to recycle it too
Bowling Ball, 200+records, and when a bowling alley got refurbished I got furniture for the whole basment.
I clean for a living. peoplethrow all kinds of stuff away. Once I found a brand new radio. gave it to my mother to take to her job.I have never gone threw dumpsters though
Yea, I go around to each dumpster near the dorms when people are moving out and I got all kinds of goodies. Here's an interesting article about dumpster diving... http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/07/13/trash.furniture.reut/index.html
I used to love driving around town early in the morning on trash day...found a beautiful arimoire that we turned into an entertainment center. And later sold for 300.00. I found an old chinese porclien lamp with a carved metal fish bottom. Tons of dishes,pictures in frames, a mink stole I sold for 50.00,loads of books...the list goes way on. My most memorible find was a hand grenade, my roomate called the police to see about disposing of it because it weighed about 3 lbs and we were concerned to just throw it back away...the bomb squad showed up at our house...huge embarrassment when it was found to be empty. I don't dive into dumpsters behind food places but at a carpet store in town we found a bunch of brand new clean pieces that where very large. When I was in L.A back in '71 I found a big bag of leather scraps behind some stores...all different colors..made some great patches for lots of jeans. I believe we owe it to our planet to try and reuse and recycle as much as possible....I also shop in thrift stores all the time. Throw away society is a disgrace...
a friend of mine pulled a jacket out a dumpster and it had a pack of cigarettes in one pocket and £5 in the other BONUS BALL
