Would I go this far ?

From scooters to shampoo - the people saving hundreds from dumpster diving

I can’t really imagine myself ‘Dumpster diving’ somehow but apparently, people are saving hundreds by diving in, retrieving clothes, toiletries etc. one woman gets all her kids clothes this way

I’m going to give it a miss, knowing my luck I’d find a body! :open_mouth::nauseated_face:

I’d be thinking of all the other things I could ‘pick up’ rummaging around a dump ! :confounded:

Quite - I think your charity warehouse is a much nicer option! :wink:

I will confess though, not quite dumpster diving but I did bring this that somebody had left in our garages, couldn’t resist it.

With a lick of paint it sits perfectly between the cupboard and linen basket in my bathroom

I wouldn’t necessarily delve into a skip, but passing one I am always drawn to any electrical items that have been discarded. 90% of the time I get stuff working again…
:astonished:
It just goes to show how much we waste things these days though.
As a boy back in the fifties, anything found in a dustbin was definitely beyond repair or wearing again.

It’s a ‘Throwaway Society’ but, you’ll never guess what ?

I walk through the garage whenever I go out and this morning saw somebody had left this, I won’t use it myself but will give it to a charity shop
