I pay for a dumpster at my storage warehouse.
I've found some pretty crazy tings in it.
I'm not about to pass up a made in USA Sioux brand D/A jut because someone might call me a scrounge.
...or a bucket full of craftsman tools including a 1/2 ratchet.
...or a 48x36 sheet of 14 gauge steel.
...or a home 8 track deck with 20 tapes that all play including some pretty cool classic rock titles.
...or usable pieces of 2x4, 4x4, 2x6 lumber.
...or nearly full boxes of tapcons, self tapping sheet metal screws, nails, etc.
...or all four base model 17x7 made in Brazil Dodge truck wheels.
...or a 100' 12ga extension cord, needing only the female end.
...or a 100' air hose with both disconnects intact.
I could go on and on.
For a while, every week there was an unopened quart of motor oil!
Who throws that away?
I've posted "guess what I found in the dumpster" threads on FBBO in the past.
