Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

I'm a security guard at a mall and I always look the other way when I see dumpster divers when I'm the only guard on site. If the businesses throw it away they shouldn't keep people from taking it.

If it is on garbage, trowed away, it is garbage, anyone should pick it!! Its no longer property … what a mentality!! Donate is better than put it on garbage it is very selfish atitude and mentality…

Thank you. A lot of stuff thrown away should be recycled if not caught by a dumpster diver. I hate that people just toss everything into the garbage. And it's great that people can make money by diverting the stuff from a landfill. 😊

@maryellenrush8595 9 ай бұрын

The lids are not only cherished by canners but crafters use them to make various ornaments. But the best part of you finding them is you kept them out of landfill. Like all the rest of your found treasures. Many Thanks.

Back in the 60s when I was a little girl(loving, the grandma life these days! ) there where still honest to goodness dumps - stuff wasn’t buried on a regular basis ever. My Mom and dDad would go to the dump and dig around. There was a lot of nasty stuff but there was also some true treasures. Furniture, tools, antiques, all kinds of good useful/sellable stuff. Lots and lots of scrap metal. Fun times!!

I worked as a Laboratory Technologist for 42 years and you can't imagine the stuff that got thrown away as the equipment became obsolete. We use to send fully functional Laboratory Equipment to 3rd World Countries but it got to the point that they didn't want any more so stuff just got thrown in the Trash. I repurposed a large BloodBank fridge that was 40 yrs old at the time as a Beer Fridge, but now I keep fresh Produce in it. Still works and certainly cold enough for vegees.

Years ago I worked for Montgomery Ward. One day they filled an entire dumpster with tools all brand new mostly power tools. A notice was posted in the break room that anyone taking any of those tools would be immediately fired. So I called a friend of mine who had a big truck and I knew exactly when the last employee left. We made a fortune selling them.
