    Dumpster Dive

    Yesterday afternoon I tore down some printers and a tower. I took some leftover stuff to the dumpster at my office and when I opened the cover, I saw that someone had dumped a heavy umbrella frame along with a collapsible aluminum frame for a tent / shelter. Needless to say, they ended up in my truck. Not a huge score, but unexpected find wasn't a bad way to end the day.

    Much better than someone stealing from you!

    Sounds like it's his dumpster, he said it was at his office.

    Oh yeah, it's ours and I have permission. I got an office chair out of there recently with a heavy steel frame and also some metal racks. Agreed on the unexpected stuff being most fun.
