The true art of Dumpster diving arrives from the old saying, 'One mans trash is another mans gold"
That being said I have started my foray into dumpster diving from the professional standpoint. That's right, I said 'professional', as I currently work for a sweeper company cleaning up local malls.
Herein lays the true art; finding the items before they even reach the dumpster
Although I've only been doing this for 6 months, I've come across many interesting finds left behind by some foolish people. Aside from dropped money and jewelery, I have come across tons of hardcover books, an X-Box with controls and a dozen games, bikes and skateboards. These are the items that I would have to have hauled to the dumpster, but they looked so much better sitting on the passenger side of my truck
This is not to mention the items I find in all the store dumpsters too Besides stores throwing out some items there is always a ton of illegal dumping going on and all it takes is a quick peak.
Out of necessity I had to take this job, but then from this job I gained another hobby
You got that right, I'm not proud
