well i found a toolbox with tools inside and random electrical things, aswell as bicycle greese. also, a bag of some rubberbands and a perfect jar for making hash.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

On my way to work this morning, I saw a dumpster with two small mahogany end tables in perfect condition; wouldn't even need to refinish them. I need a couple too but alas, I'm not as young as I was and carrying two end tables around wasn't practical. They were really nice, too.

Well - I'll be making my sunday run to the grocery & to get gas for the pickup ! so being there's a VideoUsa close to the gas station I might as well make a little lookie -Loo ! while I'm in the area . I like the location I can drive right near the dumpster ! Only Found cases there once but made a pretty good haul that time ! And being this will be way before the store opens I should'nt be disturbed ! Good luck everyone & happy Hunting !

Hmm well I was reading stuff on this last page so are people going to stores like best buy, staples, etc and just looking in dumpsters? Where I live there's every usa store u can think of. Theres also a frito lay chips distrubution center that throws away day old chips or not even that. I come out with about 10-15 bags for parties on the weekends. Live dumpster divers!
In fact I think we would be fooling our selves if we have a community this large, and did not realize that there are some enemies present. |

sniper78- Kinda Sorta -not exactly - Or to steal a Lyric from a KraftWerk Song " Maybe , PerHaps , Yes !" The thread Originally Was mainly concerned about People /members /afterdawners Checking out the Dumpsters @ their Local Video Emporium ( Blockbuster ) usually to Scrounge DVD Cases for their Burns /Backups And to Quote The Illustrious JVC ! Who Instigated, Infatuated , and otherwise infected many here at this posting with Idea of Dumpster diving ! " free is free " When it comes to diving for cases, Dvd's Games ect... Or as Forest Gump That Great American said " it's like a box O' chocholates - Ya' never know what'cha gonna Get ?" Which is part and parcel of the lure or charm of this activity (Dumpster Diving ) And Somewhere along the line the postings sorta Mutated into people finding Computers , WaterPipes /HOOKAH'S and other sundry and semi -unusual useful items ! ... Although the main focus remains as stated above - I supposed as long as the post is relevant to the topic atleast in some way in general atleast it should be posted here ! And sniper78 if you get a chance to check out some of the earlier post you may find them Educational , Witty & occasionaly Down right Funny as well as the members who posted them ! I hope this cleared up a little of the story of this post and explained somewhat about it for you and those who stumble into our Little Dumpster of Doom ! LOL! Good luck sniper78 & Safe Diving !!! CIAO!

A new first ?
Was trying to sleep , well I was sleeping ! & I had this dream . it was early Morning & I was going to walmarts It was'nt open yet but their was a crowd . I was jammed up in the middle of it and someone tried to pick my pocket . The store opens and it's huge -Superwally-time ! And I'm barefoot too ? I'm wandering around the store and there's all kinds of food/ dining areas pastries and whatnot... but I'm really hungry I don't wantany of that I want breakfast! I find the breakfast-bar and it's crowded & people are enjoying their breakfast But I can't get anyone to serve me ! all the cooks/waitresses /staff are either on break or getting off work ! I wander about the dining area /breakfast bar and I end up in the warehouse ! there are several garbage bags on the floor they appear to be filled with Dvd Cases/games /movies ? with the covers intact ! I tried to pick up the first one but the bag starts to break . I look around and can't find an empty bag and when I look bag a girl has taken the bag the was breaking except now it's a mesh sack like onions come in ! I find another bag of cases but it's not as full ! But the wierd thing is the bag is Lime Green/ Booger green like the game cases ! I grab the bag & figure that I can't walk out through the store so I exit the loading bay to put the bag in my truck . I don't know if I got to my truck because I woke up after that ? I was still barefoot and hungry though ! Ironically this was one of my more coherent dreams ! not as fellini-esque as some of them are and more sensible in that it not a bunch of seemingly unrelated events like my dreams normally are . least the 1's I remember ! Guess I should eat something and maybe I can finish the dream ? LOL ! see ya's in lala land ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet i should start going to the school dumpsters, but all the old ibooks are prolly gone. But a projector? Man I am still looking for one of those. Thats awesome man. I get most of my electronics from the school admins in there i.t. office and i just ask em like you use this or need it? I've goten routers, apple wireless airports, tons of broad band cord, old laptops, broken ibook g4s that are easy fixers that they dont want to deal with, freyed chargers, misc cords, software. It's kool what you can get these days for free.
