    crazy stuff found in dumpters

    just recently I'm amazed what people throw away. Here's some stuff I found.



    whole case of D cell batteries never opened
    new printer toners never opened
    Fancy picture frames with their children's pics still in them. Who would throw their kids pics out? pretty sad!
    Toolbox still with tools
    Box of heavy duty glass beer mugs.
    Very large box of VHS tapes.
    Children toys still in boxes

    Most people must be really wasteful. Stuff could had went to someone that needed them.
    I've donated stuff I didn't want to the goodwill for tax deduction.

    I have dumpster dived since I was a kid and I have found alot of stuff. I found a brand new leather bomber jacket still in plastic, Alot of chairs, and other bigger stuff. But as you said people are really wasteful. Its not like my when my dad or my grand fathers generation. Things are no longer built to last, This is good for us this is how we make our money.

    One man's trash is another man's treasure.

    Keep on diving and scrapping!
