I don't normally D-Dive

I peek in dumpsters every now and then but normally do not pull things out. Probably because all I ever see is old food and used diapers.

But where i live I took out my trash and right on top was a big box. I shook it and I could tell something was inside, but it was taped closed on top and bottom. I live here so I didn't want to be seen digging through my neighbors trash. It was dark so I went back to my apartment. It bothered me, why would someone tape a box closed just to dump it?

Well I was up early sunday morning and made a special trip to take out trash and I brought along some box cutters. I quickly slit open the box and saw something big wrapped in bubble wrap. I had to tear open the bubblewrap and to my surprise I saw.......................

old used plastic wheel covers. ;(
 

Where they the spinning ones? That would be awesome!
 

You never know unless you check it out!
 

The oldest son lives in the Phoenix area (Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale...) and moves frequently just to find a better place, but in his exploits hits the dumpsters when the College season ends....
Kids tend to throw away a heap of stuff that mom and dad bought them for their rooms, and in once case he found a gallon jug full of coins.... came real close to $200. when he cashed it all in...
That and when they evict someone...
At 40 he still checks them out :)
 

I have a contract with several realtors in the area, I clean up the things left when someone is evicted and try to overstay. I have come across coin collections, basketball and baseball card collections, comic book collections, etc. I keep them all. Am I a hoarder? my wife says so but I do sell some off now and then.
