go dumpster diving?

whats your biggest score?

i once found a pair of 18 inch Cerwin Vegas with perfect cones back in 92. a memorable score for sure

Not so much dumpsters, but we have TONS of alleys here and people always toss good stuff...I found a 2200PSI presure washer (just needed a wand), and entire Lane Bedroom set, silver tea set...

so sometimes it pays to look at someone elses garbage...

haha i dont personally, but i have some friends that do..
oh dumpster divers..

you have to obviously be careful of what you choose to find. im amazed at what people will throw away

i used to do that, but havent in yrs and yea you can find alot of good stuff...

when i hit rock, bottom like 5 years ago i hauled trash for like 6 monthd and you name it it was in the garbage, guns, nude pics needles, all kinds **** u name it was in there,

a stack of National Geo's and a Sega Genesis! back when they were popular

I heard "dogging" is more the thing to do these days

When I was a youngster - there was a toy store down the street from us and on saturday nights they would take out the trash. We would hide in the bushes trying to get a peek at the potential goodies. After they were done, we were down on that dumpster like a buzzard on a gut wagon. Some of the stuff we kept and the rest we would take to school and sell to friends. It was a good racket until they closed... Wiffle ball bats and balls, squirt guns, yo-yo's, super-bounce balls, frisbees, army men, badminton sets, just to name a few... Good times...

I don't, but a close friend does. She has salvaged furniture and refinished it to look like new, and various other items. I get a chuckle every time she shows me something she "rescued" from the curb.....

I got carpet for my dorm room that way

Back in Grad School days I scored a wooden secretary desk.

what the heck is dogging??

Thats how I furnished my whole appt (Mind you I only have milk crates and bean bag chairs but still, free is good)

hats off to you, sittin on milk crates surfin the net, now thats punk rock!

Next time you meet a vet, ask him

Used to , when I worked next door to a toy warehouse!
Christmas almost every night!

One person's trash is another person's treasure!

I have furnished my entire apartment in Early American Swapmeet...
