Live Animal In Petco Dumpster

I was walking my dog with my fiance and we both stopped and said “what’s that?”. I realized it was an enameled cast iron and I love cast iron. Immediately knew this was a $150+ pan.Maybe the thought they ruined it? Whatever was cooked on was very burned.Two rounds of oven cleaner and some bleach to fix the discoloration and it’s good as new.

This Should Be Criminal…

In 2023 alone, the world generated 2.1 billion metric tons of municipal solid waste—just imagine that for a second. You could quite literally cover the earth with that waste! Imagine if all that trash were spread out evenly; it would be enough to blanket the planet in layers of garbage.

All good through the next year, so sad to see it in the trash.

However, not all waste comes from our homes. In fact, there are many different types of waste out there.

This Wasn’t Even All Of The Plants

There’s 27 Nike and Under Armor bags here. All of them still have their tags. Most have random embroidery on the front but besides that, they’re clean and in perfect condition.

I found this last week, what I thought was just a Mac display in the dumpster when I was moving. Plugged it in and it needed a mouse and keyboard to connect. Fast forward to this morning as I connected some that I ordered on Amazon and it popped right on and asked me to setup as new iMac, only had to connect with my Apple ID! Looked it up earlier this week and it’s a 2021 iMac, so crazy someone would just leave in the dumpster in recovery mode, but new iMac for me!

On a more natural note, we also haveorganic waste, which includes all sorts of biodegradable materials like food scraps, paper, and even some types of plastic. Instead of tossing these items in the trash, they can be composted to create nutrient-rich soil, which is great for growing new plants.

Built The Kids A Village Of Playhouses, All Found On The Curbside, And Those Light Up Foam Batons Were Found Dumpster Diving :)

Little back story/ I find things people are throwing out, clean them, and flip it for profit, we were moving out of our apartment and the last day I saw this and asked my girlfriend if she knew what a SNOO was she flipped when I told her what I had found. We picked it up took it home, got some swaddles to go with it to be able to test it and it worked perfect!! I took the entire thing apart cleaned it head to toe very thoroughly since I knew I could flip it for a big amount I’ve never made before on a single sell, I have it listed now and should sell between $600-$800.
