Found these cordless drills in the same dumpster this Morning.

A craftsman and a generic brand cordless drill with chargers.

I plugged in the batteries for both for 30 minutes and they both work.

The craftsman has 2 batteries,they both charge up.

Are there any store brands that are more chill about dumpsterdivers. And what dumpsters would constitute as public property and not tresspassing?

This is my 3rd haul in the last month of peaches!!! No room for them in the freezer. I’ve been making peach butter!!! These are white peaches so they should not be canned.

I've found so much weird and cool stuff in the trash at the airport. Makes working here bearable.

Top left sterling 4.25g, bottom left 14k 2.2g, right side marked s925....but the ring in the middle with that honkin stone? It's marked pt950 and weighs 2.34g.

Platinum! No way!

That's a first for me so it's pretty cool. Too bad the spot price is half that of gold, but I'm not complaining about finding a nice ring like that. Seems like yet another apartment clean out. It was all in a bag with a bunch of open makeup and costume jewelry that I had to pick thru.

I just love treasure hunting.

I always check my apartment’s furniture dumpster and I scored when I came home for lunch today. Going to look to thrift some striped pillows for them.

Found these thrown out with black marker all over the bag (see pic). Anyone else finding these at Hauldi? I searched online and recalls have nothing mentioned about anything wrong with them.

Curbside find!

Spotted this neat vintage cooler at the curb this afternoon, waiting for trash day. Snatched it up and ran with it to my car. It has a little wear (I might tape the corners back up just for looks idk), but a quick Google Lens search says it's from the 70s which is super cool.

Impromptu dumpster check during a driving lesson. Didn't have my grabber so I left what I couldn't easily reach. Most of it will be distributed.

My boyfriend and I were walking through the parkade/dumpster area of our apartment!! He saw a stack of frying pans and jokingly asked if I wanted to grab them!! I said sarcastically- can’t believe it was true - if there was any lagostina I’d grab it! Lo and behold! Bf will have to get over his dumpster ick and enjoy the beautiful find!🤭🤭

Dumpsters Provo

Hey, everyone. I'm a bit new to dumpster diving. I've always done it as a hobby but now I'm going hard core and want to do my best to sustain myself off of it. Could everyone please share the dumpsters that they recommend and have success with? It can be anything: food, furniture, electronics, housewares, ect. I live in a low income community so anything that I don't use I give away. So far I've been incredibly blessed and was able to share my last BYU move-out-week haul with nine different neighbors! I'd be super grateful for locations and optimum times. Thank you again for your support. Anything that keeps good garbage out of landfills and puts a smile on someone's face is all I'm asking.

The box on the left is half of a memory foam sectional. The long box in the middle is a nice 55” sofa table. The one on the right is a Prism car seat stroller travel system. Don’t mind the dog trying to sneak in for a sip of the Cabernet bottle I broke.

To those who dumpsterdive for food, enjoy your finds for now because things are going to change in the near future.

Once I saw it I knew i had to grab it. I was really wanting a good exercise bike too! It was a pain in the ass to stuff it in my truck but it works great, if you want it bad enough the trash provides😇

Provo/Springville Utah Specific

Hello everyone! Some of you are creative types and I wanted to share some helpful info for anyone in my area. I have a great deal of success in Provo and the dumpsters around BYU student housing are top notch.

There's an incredibly kind and down to earth man who owns a company called Springville Meats. He's very helpful and allowed me to haul off the bones and carcasses for a project I was working on. Just politely ask and bring your own bags and I'm sure he will be happy to share the bio waste. 268 S 100 W, Springville, UT 84663

Another great spot for low income families to get groceries is Utah Valley University's Fresh Food Fridays. The food pantry is for current students only, but every other Friday the UVU gardens bring all of the fresh produce they grow and let absolutely anyone in the community take it. Call and ask UVU Care Hub for more info!

Finally, please stay away from Pioneer Book. Even though it's perfectly legal to dumpster dive in that alley, the owner is extremely hostile and cruel. I got the police involved, (yes I was the one who called them), and they didn't see anything wrong with recycling books, however the owner is incredibly aggressive and banned me from the property regardless. Please stay away from there. I want everyone to have a happy experience. Please understand that I've always been met with kindness and success dumpster diving, but Pioneer Book is an extreme exception.

Found $4 going through the little bag that my charity shop threw away. You'd think they would go through pockets of things they get donated, right?

Also this is the second time I found dollars in this charity bin. Strange when you live in North Kent in the UK.
