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)

How often is it people actually throw away things in completely fine condition from your experience?

Daily. For instance, guy on Wednesday brought in a pellet smoker. Said it wasn't working. I said did you check the fuse? Auger clogged? He said, "I don't care, I got a new one. " he left, I got the voltmeter out, just a fuse. Switch works great. Replaced the fuse, put in some pellets, fired right up. Nothing wrong with it, just needed a fuse.
