I live in an apartment complex, where people who no longer want useful objects don't just toss them in the dumpsters--one for recycling, one for trash--they are thoughtful enough to put them to the side of the dumpster areas. Only a half hour ago I took out the trash.

There, on the edge of the dumpster enclosure I found three boxed items. All were encased in those plastic mummy packs that are impossible to open without a knife or powerful scissors, brand new. One was a nose and ear hair removal tool--I have that tool though that doesn't necessarily mean I have nose or ear hair; another was a "hot lather" shaving machine, and the last was a 4-rotary-head, rechargeable electric shaver. My own shaver is old, and only has three rotary heads. Again, this is a brand new item, and I have to guess that some guy either misplaced his face, or some gal chose to clear her bathroom cabinet of items no longer needed. So, in this case, a presumably failed relationship worked out very well for me.

i don't do the dumpster diving thingy...but it was a nice find..i guess

Maybe they dropped them...or some kind of green fairy went and nabbed them then dropped them off near the dumpster as they were to heavy for the little fairy to fly with...

hummm

I used to put useful items outside of the dumpster for others to take. My little way of recycling!! But, now, trash is picked up at the curb. So, I put useful things for offer for free on freecycle.org.

freecycle rocks

Hey aint a damn thing wrong with recycling, why not put something to use instead of going to the landfill!!

wow where did that come from mikey?

in redneckland we call it Christmas shopping

oh geesh my quote was erased sorry mikey... i quoted all of what u said..... now it looks weird

ewwwwwwwww!

they deleted the wise a** that made the comment!!

myself i give stuff away... before i sold my house i had stuff out on curb with free signs on it... or i donated to the goodwill etc after i called my friends to come go through everything first

I donate to the good will or the local homeless shelter, someone can always use something I cant!!

Good for you Buttons--and thank you Mikey. My ex used to do the same Buttons, put stuff on the curb with a "Free" sign on them. To be clear and fair, and less potentially disgusting though, none of the items had ever been opened or used. I only took the razor, as I said. I don't know why a person would want an electric shaver and a hot lather machine.

always a silver lining...
