Dumpster Diving "Case After Case After CASE IN HERE!"
Рет қаралды 2,113,931
Жыл бұрынHowdy, 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!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas.

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.

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!!

That's the best way to do it. Sometimes people will hide stuff for some reason. This is the best time of year to go. Businesses are cleaning out old inventory and they often throw it away as a tax write off.
