Hell, I used to dumpster dive regularly. It earned me about 500 or 600 a 
week and half my apartment is decorated with stuff I found. You'd be 
surprised what good stuff people throw away. Hell, my first computer was 
an Atari someone dumped. One time I found 3 grand in the pocket of a 
coat. Some old dude had died and the family threw all his possessions 
away. Jewelry I promptly sold, world war 2 collectibles, again sold, and 
in the pocket of a jacket, bonanza. I guess they didn't realize that 
many old folks tend to stash rainy day money in their clothes and stuff 
and then forget it's there. I wish I still had my pickup and was healthy 
enough to hit my old route again. Hell, even the coffee cup I'm having 
my coffee in right now was a dumpster find. Came in a package of four 
with some trivets and a complete cannister set. All brand new, still in 
the sealed packages. No, nobody puts down dumpster diving with me. I 
made a pretty good supplemental income from it for years. There are 
people I know in San Francisco that get a lot of their food by dumpster 
diving. Good food. Markets have to throw things away by a certain date, 
mostly veggies and meat. No one takes the meat, of course, but the 
veggies are still good with a little trim. Not liking veggies, not 
something I ever did. The toaster in my kitchen, which I've been using 
for like 20 years now, a dumpster dive. Can opener, popcorn maker, 
waffle iron, ice tea maker, lots of other appliances, all dumpster 
dives. Hell, even my excellet, very heavy duty steel TV stand, shelves, 
was a dumpster find. A liquor store threw away this beautiful Canadian 
Club advertising set of shelves. Soon as I saw it, it was mine. On top 
of my old hippie milk crates and boards bookshelf is a beautiful 
waterbed headboard with a big mirror. Dumpster diving. Same for the 
headboard of my bed. My desk that I sit at every day. Two dumpster 
finds. One, a cheap metal desk, the other a think and beautiful fine oak 
tabletop I screwed on to the desk.  Most of the shelves whereupon sit my 
3000+ movie collection, all dumpster finds. People are fuckin crazy, 
man. They throw away great shit. This is a thing that has caused me to 
hold some resentment against rich folks. None of the stuff I ever found 
should have been thrown away. If you don't want it anymore, give it top 
someone who needs it. I HATE wasting anything, food, stuff, anything. I 
really have a shit attitude about it, you know. I'm not a fucking 
greenie or tree hugger or anything retarded like that. I don't want to 
party like it's 1899. I just have this thing about wasting anything. I 
hate to think about what great and valuable stuff is hopelessly lost in 
the town dump and landfill. Hell, even both of my bedside table came 
from the dumpster. Even here in my own apartment complex people throw 
away great stuff. A couple weeks ago someone threw away a great table 
and a big Mitsubishi TV. My disability make me unable to lift much, but 
I was damn tempted. I can usually fix those old screen TVs. One of my 
three vacuums came from a dumpster. Surprisingly, it's the one I usually 
use because the other two, both of which I bought, just don't have any 
decent suck to them. Damn upright vacuums. I really need an old school 
cannister vac with hoses and shit. But seriously, you'd be totally 
amazed what you can find, especially in the rich neighborhoods that used 
to be my route. I also never had to buy any reading material, as people 
threw away thousands of magazines and books. Being a writer, you can 
imagine my attitude about THAT. Though my favorite find was a huge set 
of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science from the 30s and 40s. I enjoyed 
the hell out of those. One thing I really want is that CD set of the 
complete National Geographic Magazines from the beginning, every page, 
every story every ad. I love shit like that. And my order for videos 
this month included two CD sets of old Archie comics. (Hey, I'm a huge 
Archie fan, so sue me.)
