    My partner worked for a construction company for awhile. They would throw away EVERYTHING that didn't get used on a job. So, say they were building an apartment complex. Every partially used box of screws was tossed, every unused cupboard or counter or appliance, brand new, tossed. It's insane.

    I’m a not a garbage person, but I have a story about one. In 7th grade, my math class (we were taking Algebra 1 and the other 7th grade math class was taking Pre-algebra Pt 2) was in a small, abandoned room (like hadn’t been used for a good 8 years) at the very back of the school. The room was so far back that we could see where the buses and dumpster were from two narrow windows lining the top wall of the room. One day, the garbage man’s truck interrupted our lesson. We all stood on chairs to see the truck, and were very excited by it for some reason idk. So we decided to make signs and greet the garbage man every Wednesday at 9:15 (during our math class that day.) We were there without fail. The signs got bigger and had color; we would tape them to the windows a couple of minutes before the man came. We would clap and cheer for him as he dumped out the garbage. As the year went by, we kept doing it until one day in March, the man did something different. He dumped out the garbage, took a something out of the truck and held it up to his window. It was a sign, much like our own signs that were taped to the windows of the classroom. It said “Thank you for making my Wednesdays, kids.” We all almost cried lol. In May, we ended up getting to meet him in person through the school finding out about it, and we all bought him presents and food. I still have the photos the class took with him to this day on my phone. Probably the most kind man I have ever met. I will forever have a special place in my heart for garbage people.

      Had this happen to me cleaning out my attic. Found an empty can of 5.56 ammunition from the seventies cleaning crap out of my attic (house used to belong to my grandfather, he probably got the can from either one of my two ex-military uncles. Can’t ask him though, as he passed in 2008.)
      My grandfather also used to collect stamps… so imagine my surprise when I got to the bottom of a box of random stuff and found Hitler staring back at me from a stamp.
      Also found his phone bill from 1976 and some photos of another relative in the 80s. That said relative had taken of their prison cell.

    2. Some rich person was throwing away some paintings, you bet i still have those.

    Probably one of the best garbage man finds is a garbage man that had the MGM studios on his route and in one of the dumpsters he found Robby the Robot of Forbidden Planet fame as well as appearances in Twilight Zone, Lost In Space and other reuses. Apparently studio had decided the prop/costume was no longer needed. Garbage man ended up restoring Robby and renting him out for conventions and such. Effectively any appearance of Robby starting with the cameo at the beginning of Gremlins is the salvaged Robby.
    Supposedly MGM got wind of this guy renting out one of their props they tried going after him with the legal department but that quickly got shut down by a judge with the simple ruling you lost any right over it once you put it in the dumpster.

    About the businesses just throwing away goods into dumpsters-my daughter is working at a place while in college that throws away perfectly good food in bulk ahead of the due dates. It’s one tiny store, and the amount of consumable goods thrown in the garbage is shocking to me. There are starving people in the world and these places just trash things two weeks ahead of due dates. No one seems to care. Her manager told her that she can take things home as long as she doesn’t hand them out. So we’ve been secretly giving people things and not telling them where they came from and telling them to use them within the time limit on the box. She brought home an entire garbage bag full of k cups coffee pods-just boxes and boxes of them yesterday. One day it was a bulk amount of assorted nuts and slim Jim beef sticks. I’m like there’s no way we are throwing these things out. I’ve sent them out to people who need them as I can figure out who that is. We do keep a few things, but a lot of it is given out to needier people. My daughter doesn’t really care if she gets in trouble over it, she’s a temporary worker about to head off to university next year. It it’s been so shocking to me to see how much perfectly usable food gets put out in a dumpster. It seems so wrong to me when there are people hurting out there who could use it. It this one place does that, how many of them do? All of them? Are they all just throwing away bulk food that could feed the homeless or needy people???

      But 2 weeks ahead? That's insane.....I mean mu store pulls it the day before but that makes sense since tomorrow it will habe to be pulled anyways and the chance of sales in that single day hour time frame are slim but 2 weeks is plenty of time for a lot of it to be bought.

    Not a garbage man, but sometimes you find useful stuff in the trash. Some of those i found include : two 100 gallon plastic container which both had a small hole the size of a quarter, that I fixed with a hot glue gun and molten plastic. A 3 seat couch in good condition that I keep on the porch. A dozen planks of 2x4s, 10 boxes, 400lbs of expired spaghetti,200lbs of expired canned peas and 100lbs of expired canned green beans that I used as pig feed. A small briefcase with 12 different sized wrenches that needed a little bit of cleaning from rust, and last but not least, a piglet. Yes, a piglet all alone, probably no older than 5 or 6 weeks, who I named Queen and she became the most prolific sow we ever had at the farm. In her 15 years of life as a sow she gave birth to a total of 362 live piglets and just 10 stillborn.

    Not a garbageman, but I've gotten a lot of cool stuff from people throwing things out. The best was a CRT monitor with nothing wrong with it that I could find. I don't use it anymore because it's the old pin connector type and my laptop only has an HDMI port for a spare monitor, but the old CRT monitor still works.
    Other finds include: all three of my bookshelves, a dresser, a white wooden box with three shelves that I suppose could be used as a small dresser but which I keep other stuff in, and I've had a couple desks over time, though one of them fell apart after years. Oh, and I have this huge table that I use as a computer desk where I keep my spare monitor, which is also a largeish TV.
    That TV wasn't in the trash but *was* in Goodwill for super cheap, probably because when I first bought it, it was doing this weird thing with the screen being tinted green and hard to read. But after putting up with it for a few days out of stubbornness, it stopped doing that. The image cleared up to crystal clear and it hasn't done that weird thing ever since.

    Nobody in my family is a garbage worker, but my dad and I are what I like to call “yard vultures”. Basically our neighborhood has a big yard sale once every few months, and whatever didn’t sell was left by the side of the road. So me and my dad would drive around and snag whatever we thought was cool. I remember finding a fully functional NES with 3 games in a box, and a bedazzled cooler (it was so shiny we could see it down the block, my stepmom currently uses it) moral of the story if you see a bunch of stuff left by the side of the road, look through it and you might find something amazing

Another was a complete working stereo system. They got so many coffee makers and cooking sets that they couldn’t take them all
    There were pickers that knew the routes and would go ahead of the trucks to get the best stuff

    My local dump has what they call a "swap shed" for stuff thats too nice to throw away but unwanted and it's amazing what I've found there. A few highlights...
    1. I was a poor new homeowner in New England. Sometimes we get upwards of three feet of snow and my driveway is like 70' long (no its not a huge house or plot it just kind of zigzags across my front lawn). My mom found an old mid 70's snow blower that was left on the side of the road. It looks like someone tried to fix it, tore it apart, lost a bunch of pieces, then gave up and dumped it. So I have a literal basket case on my hand trying to figure out how to put it back together and what's missing? Wouldn't you know the very next week I found a factory service manual for the snow blower? No not like an owners manual like a real service manual with parts break downs and diagnostics stuff. What are the odds?
    2. Again being a broke new home owner a lot of my furniture is hand me down stuff. I was given an old table that used to be my grandmothers before she passed. I have no idea how old it was but I'm guessing 1960's? It's a long table but only came with 4 chairs. It works but it always felt like there should be chairs at the table ends. Well wouldn't you know one day I found two chairs that exactly matched my table set? I was overjoyed!
    3. It looks like someone was cleaning out their parent's house and threw a way a lot of "old junk". Well there was a bucket of old machinists tools I picked up. I found ancient craftsman micrometers with a cal tag still attached from the late 60's. A Brown and Sharpe thread gauge from the late 1800's. Ancient Starrett dial indicators and protractor. A WW2 Elgin pilots watch. Really cool stuff like that!
    I've found so many treasures that I am so grateful weren't just pitched in the trash! It truly is a case of one mans trash is another mans treasure!

The best thing I found was a jewlery box that bought me a car and payed for my first year of college. The worst thing I found was a dead baby. The driver told me to just pull the rake but I insisted on calling the police. The cops were quick to put 1 and 1 together and come up with 42 and arrested us. It took all day to get clear and we still had to finish our route before we could go home.

Mom pulled over real fast and they all ran out and grabbed so much wine that the kids were sitting on the boxes on the way home. Must have been like the doors of heaven opened up for her.

He came by my place to do some standard maintenance, and saw my old af monitor that was a hand me down I got from my dad back when I was 6, (so probably as old as me) and asked if I wanted the flatscreen TV he scavenged for $50 to use as a new monitor.

He described ending every day with a layer of nasty on his and his co-worker's cars because the wind blew the mess around, which was interesting.
    They'd find things that I'd assume a kid accidentally flushed, like wedding rings, random large bills of money, things that they'd be able to split the profits off of. He did mention them seeing a fetus once. He and the guys just stood there silently in surprise. This was like early 2000's.

    Once when i was like 15 a house in our neighbourhood was doing a cleanout thing where they bring in a giant box that goes in the back of a truck where you're supposed to put like recyclable, non hazardous large household waste, think mostly furniture, pieces of drywall carpets, things like that. My mom said you're legally allowed to take whatever you want from there, i think she got something for her poorly funded career as a kindergarden teacher. Now we weren't poor by any means, in fact we were and are very upper middle class but hell you tell a 15 year old child she's allowed to legally dumpster dive for cool things she'll do it. And then i saw it. On top of all that wooden stuff there was a black dice, tall enough to reach past my knees at the time, so maybe the size of a small stool. No idea why someone would make such a thing, even less idea why you'd throw it away. I informed my mom that was now mine, i climbed all the way to the top of that pile and carried the giant dice all the way home..I put it in my plauyhouse as there was no room in the actual house, now at 22 years old I'm into DnD and have every intention to get my giant dice from my playhouse and put it into my new apartment, thanks 15 year old me.

    My dad and grandpa used to work at the dump when I was little, I’d often go to spend the day with one of them while they were there (it wasn’t a big dump). You would be surprised about the amount of things people have thrown away that very well should have been donated. We used to clean up some of the salvageable stuff (some of the stuff was just unhygienic to use after being lumped with the garbage) and either keep it or give it to someone who needed it (we told them where it came from first, obviously)

    Beer, was short dated and owner wanted to dispose of it.

    not a garbage man, but 15 minutes before they arrived we took the remaining cardboard out and we heard snorring in our container.
    found a drunk "kid" who had hit the bottle a little to hard and decided the container was a good place to sleep it off...
    even had the audacity to complain that we woke him up.
    best (material thing) was probably someones collection... 4 working Sega Master systems (1980's), 1 defective and about 15-20 games with manuals all thrown out in the garbage shed.
    was sadly not allowed to keep it, but contacted a collector who traded in them and he promised to make sure they got new good homes (and paid me a little for my trouble)

    Movie "Men at Work", Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estavez. Working as garbage men, they found a rather heavy trash can and took a look... a dead body. The garbage truck driver comes over, "Awww, looky here. Looks like somebody threw away a perfectly good white boy." (Sorry, first thing that came to mind. Couldn't help posting this.)

    At another apartment complex I lived in they had a homeless person make a bed behind the one dumpster in the space behind the dumpster, if that makes sense, and I made an argument that there was other trash and that there in that brick space the dumpster was housed in when the head of maintainance was claiming he saw me throwing trash out around in the space when there was other stuff and I was throwing stuff into the dumpster itself. Needless to say he got in trouble I guess. I'm assuming the British hair cream is about the same consistency as shave cream like barbasol

    I am homeless, and a lot of people in this community will "dumpster dive" and will occasionally get an amazing find. One day, behind Walmart, he found a brand new cell phone, still in the box... a freakin. CELL PHONE. 🤣
    We're pretty sure it was nmbeing written off because the box was damaged, but nog positive.

    British? I can't believe that wasn't American advertising we heard in the 60s. They used to claim it made your "dry hair" look healthy and manly and such, rather than give it the greaser look.
