One person's trash is another's treasure and a few days ago found a space heater, a nice plant stand, a rubbermaid storage contaner and a few other items. All in good conditon. Dumpsters in a nearby college town are gold when the students leave town. Those kids haven't a clue as to what they throw out.

One friend went dumpster diving one spring and in the fall had a huge yard sale and sold the trash back, in many cases, to the kids that had thrown it out the past spring. Said he made over $2,000 on that sale. all of it from the trash.
