Dumpster picking

submitted by PeckerwoodPerry to whatever 2.8 yearsAug 8, 2022 21:19:44 ago (+31/-1)     (whatever)

I work next to a moving company. They keep an industrial dumpster out back for shit people who contract the don't want to keep. I've gotten some good stuff out. I've got a wooden bureau in my office from there, a steel framed wagon, a beautiful mirror, and some bric-a-brac that my wife liked so far. Today I found what looks like a first press of the Dark Side of the Moon album by Pink Floyd. It's got a couple posters in it, as well as an old sticker. The record looks like it's never seen a needle. The cover is absolutely spotless. Pretty stoked right now, bros. Pink Floyd was my favorite band when I was younger, and this shit is pristine. Whatever you think about the politics of the band, it's all super cool and I'm gonna get it matted and framed. One man's trash and all that. There was a Prince album too, but I didn't bother with that as a dumpster is probably the right place for that.

Have worked in the waste industry for over 30 years and the best part of finding something? If it doesn't work you can take it back...best return policy ever.

I'm good on the lotto thing. I feel like if I won it would be a curse, not a blessing.

Nice find.

I would have taken the prince one.

My husband found a record player at work, only thing was the adapter was broken. Replaced it and boom brand new.

In my kids face since she never wants to let us use hers.

I'd have done the same, then check how much the thing is worth. If it's at least a decent amount I'd pawn it off to whoever wants to pay for that nigletfaggot's shit and use the shekels towards something pro-white.

Holy shit, now I have dumpster envy.

And who knew that was even a thing!!

That is awesome, you lucky sumbitch. Seriously though, that is cool.

And about the politics of a band, I pay them no mind. Their opinions on anything but their music are wasted on me as I just don't care. The way I see it they are payed to play music, that's it and they made some amazing music that I grew up listening to and always enjoyed.

Some garbage gold right there.

Rescued a technics turntable from going to the dumpster it only needed a needle.

I'm pretty happy with it. It's fucking clean.

I remember going to the dump with my dad. We’d always come home with something. That, and shooting seagulls with the wrist rocket. Good times

Roger Waters is semi based.

He justifies Russia saying what would the US do if China placed missiles in Mexico, or what did the US do when when the Soviet placed missiles in Cuba.


Calls Biden a War criminal

Calls himself openly more important that singing niggers like Drake and $h3roin or whatever.

Calls the whole bullshit with the CHink Muslims, the Yughurs ...bullshit...

And that interview is down lol...

Can you explain this please?

"whose entire business model is "buy a bunch of pallets", "empty a bunch of pallets into gaylords", "pay a flat rate per item depending on how long ago we restocked".

I've been doing it instead of a job for 6 months now, so it seems to be working for me."

What do you mean empty into Gaylord's?

And

Pay a flat rate per item depending on how long ago we restocked.

I used to live in the Boston area and twice a year- when the students move in and out- they would leave tons of shit out for anyone. A lot of it was brand new, shit their parents got for them they never wanted or used. I filled my first place with that shit.

Mexicans come through our neighborhood and pick through our trash on every trash day. I have had neighbors give us shit tho. They put the good stuff out for white people on the curb the day before trash day so the Mexicans don't get it. Got a brand new l shaped leather couch once. A nice leather computer chair. Some lightly used bikes for kids. Even a almost new perfectly working power wheels. If none of the white people get it before trash day. The Mexicans scoop it up.

This sounds like a 'side hustle' opportunity. If you have space to store some stuff maybe you can ask them if you can simply have a look through all the things they want to throw out and then pick out things you can resell. Maybe pay the moving company some money to do this and then flip the good stuff on Facebook Market Place, etc. I find that pieces of furniture that are in decent shape always sell fast. It might be a situation where by law the moving company has to 'auction' off the stuff if they don't throw it out but it would be nice if they didn't smash the good stuff up in the dumpster before you can have a chance at it.
