Recycle

Hey yall as promised I would try to post landfill finds. These are some I found this week. I've found a Disney mono rail, Vintage Mickey phone, a blue glass jar (filled with loose change I've found in the last 9 months or so), glass jugs, an air plane propeller, and a lightly used rock tumbler. These are just the items I've saved for myself (yes I bleach) I didn't have time to take pictures of everything I've put in the reuse this week. Dvds, home decor, records, end tables, etc. I also did find a nice Bose cd player this week, sounds incredible, but left that at the shop. Anyways, I'll try to post weekly of awesome finds. (It's the slow season so things aren't as good)

I've been told but I don't want to get into all that, I save cool things as much as I can. Sometimes my buddies will tell me to keep an eye out for something and will have me over for dinner in exchange. That's good enough for me. I put items in the reuse area as much as possible. We've saved 40tons in 2024 from the reuse area

I respect the love of the game, I’m just jealous our local landfill stopped letting people pick anything

I hear ya, I sometimes get hate for it but at the end of the day I'm the one crawling threw trash saving items. I don't see anyone else applying lmao 🤣
