  • This is Great! I built my 1st computer this way, my family couldn't afford one. My mom cleans houses for rich people, they throw away so much good stuff. Diving the stores in town and gardening lets us save on food. With that money my Sis. and I go to college.

  • I refurbished an old computer i found, actually runs pretty well, i made a rocking chair out of a old car seat, and some wood i found, my bike is from a dumpster, i just put new brakes on it, Today, we found brand-new carpet (remnants) that i cut out and put under bed frames and stuff. Dumpster diving is great recycling, fun to do, and a good activity to do with friends and family. - i'm going out tomorrow, with some friends, to Garelick, to see what they throw away. people, START DIVING!

  • It's funny once my mum put a bag of knifes in our bin.

  • @y2joct7 oh and last sunday i found 16 jars of prego XD and a box of cereal XD

  • @y2joct7 cool XD

  • @happyquails I know stores that if a box of cereal is bent will throw it out even though its still good. Ive found food that still had a year left on its expiration date. MINE!

  • @RogueCrockett i do it and people know and im not shy bout it...because whether they like it or not they tend to benefit. I found 6 chubs of Maxwell House coffee( 2 lbs 2.25 oz each)...i dont drink coffee but I know family that does and this saves money when they would other wise have to spend it. The coffee chubs r un-opened so nothing wrong imo.

  • @RogueCrockett thanks. and i will because i was in class

  • @AxleGear89 all you gotta do is keep doing it you have excuses to use and never tell anyone where you get your haul XD

  • @MegaCherryCat only if the dumpster has been sitting for a week XD but in an inclosed area with the lids closed isnt that bad or during winter when bugs are migrating or hibernating XD

  • @MrSlammeddown lol you have a good argument but really if i had a farm and didnt have much money i could feed my livestock on tossed produce, start planting found plants, use tossed crates or wood to make different buildings for my livestock, collect cans for a little pocket change i mean 60 cans a day is still a dollar lol, and use paper to feed my fireplace i mean just use whatever you can but don't be retarded and make trash out into art XD

  • @tylertalkstrash exactly
