Brand new clothes, all kinds of shit especially if the box or container was damaged, only problem was I couldnt take anything per the company rules but if i could have, shit my trunk would have been "filt to the hilt". From bent up boxes of unopened tissue to boxes of floor tiles. If you really want to find plenty of good shit check the dollar stores the night before trash day, everything gets tossed the night before. GO FREEGANISM..oh yeah lets not forget craigslist, one of my best friends moved and has supplied his entire apartment with free shit. He has not paid a dime for anything he has and he has some nice stuff.
The thread that would not die! Muhahahahaha!
I love Craigslist. My latest bargains: A 12 amp Bissell bagless vacuum for 20$, and a Fridgidaire 5.5 cu. ft. chest freezer that was clean as a whistle for 50$, two new in the box 400W power supplies for 15$. Also a queen size boxspring and bedframe for FREE!
a good place to dumster dive is industrial parks. alot of companys constantly throw away computers and other electronics. i went about 2 months ago and i found a brand new dell. pentium 4 prossesor and a new flat screen. it was pritty sweet.
Yo man. I've took a leak behind those dumpsters-sorry to say but in extreme(drunk)situations. And I've seen those maggots and flies everywhere on those things and it would freak me out so bad that I would almost piss on myself every time! But due to the cause(Freegans)I'll always be conscious of the idea that I could be pissing on someone's meal.
Taking and eating food out of a dumpster that has had rotting food, flies, maggots and god knows what else is disgusting. All that bacteria and germs could seep through the packaging, also your touching the packaging then eating the food with your hands. You get seriously ill from doing this. I mean come on, we live in the year 2007 and know about germs and bacteria, this is shit that homeless people do.
We have money so we can buy food not take it from the trash. Anyone who eats from a dumpster needs to take a health and safety class.
:jointsmile: I tried to get into dumpster diving about 2 years ago but everytime I went out and started looking through dumpsters I got all paranoid. And I never found anything good. But I sometimes go on the dumpsterworld.com message boards and read people's crazy stories. Like this one guy who was actually inside a dumpster looking around and somebody came to dump some trash so the guy came flying out of the dumpster and ran off. :D:D:D I wonder what that person must have thought ha.
slightly damaged tissues.......

have you ever read a book called evasion from crimethinc?
dumpster diving sounds interesting to me, to like find free cool shit, but not food. humans were meant to eat meat. being a vegan is one thing, but then diving in dumpsters for it is just a whole nother story to me.
i tried it once but i didn't know what i was doing and was to scared to actually get inside the dumpster.
:S2::S2: OMG. That's hilarious!Quote:

I'd like to do it more often than I do, but around campus at the end of semesters, I have found all of my furniture, shelves and book cases, as well as CDs, DVDs, DVD players, and a $600 turntable that just needed a connection soldered to make it work.
Also, as far as maggots and flies and filthy food goes, Bizzle has mostly talked about bread shops. Bread doesnt attract all that stuff like wet foods do. And either way, an unoppened package of ham is exposed to less bacteria than your meal is when you sit outside for a picnic, or the fast food that anyone in the country eats.
Anyone whos worked in a retail position, be it a big or small company, should know that good stuff gets tossed out needlessly.
Very good points! I use to work at a Bakery when I was a kid, and most of the time the bread we threw out was still in the sealed plastic, so anyone who wanted to take it really didn't have to worry about filth, maybe sjust a bit of stale bread.Quote:

dumpster dive me fuck that:wtf:
Yeah I couldnt do it.
But my aunt owns a mini storage and when people dont pay she is entitled to EVERYTHING in their storage. So i've found all sorts of cool stuff in there!
Like vinyl Zeppelin and Floyd records. And furniture that was brand spankin' new! Tags and all! People leave all sorts of cool stuff.
That would be neat!Quote:
