Live Animal In Petco Dumpster

I found this poor baby last night in the compactor at Petco in Alexandria, La!!! I really pray that they accidentally threw him out as there was bedding in a trash bag in the bin as well. If they did it on purpose, they’re disgusting.

Found On Top Of Someone's Garbage

I was walking my dog with my fiance and we both stopped and said "what's that?". I realized it was an enameled cast iron and I love cast iron. Immediately knew this was a $150+ pan.
Maybe the thought they ruined it? Whatever was cooked on was very burned.
Two rounds of oven cleaner and some bleach to fix the discoloration and it's good as new.

If you take a moment and think about how often you throw things away each day; you might realize how much we rely on the trash can. From food scraps to packaging, a lot ends up in our bins.

On average, each person generates around 0.74 kilograms of waste per day, but depending on where you live, that number can range anywhere from 0.11 to a staggering 4.54 kilograms.

In 2023 alone, the world generated 2.1 billion metric tons of municipal solid waste—just imagine that for a second. You could quite literally cover the earth with that waste! Imagine if all that trash were spread out evenly; it would be enough to blanket the planet in layers of garbage.

Now, if that sounds like a lot, brace yourself, because it's projected to skyrocket to 3.8 billion tons by 2050. That's nearly double the amount of waste.

Honestly, don't dumpster dive food. Many times, they are tossed because of recalls due to one thing or another. You may be doing more harm than good. Go online and check the code to make sure it's okay to donate, give away. Same goes for cosmetics. Just a side note for those in the U.S. Purina also owns Taco Bell.

However, not all waste comes from our homes. In fact, there are many different types of waste out there. For instance, hazardous chemical waste like industrial chemicals, paints, and certain cleaning products could threaten our health and the environment if disposed of recklessly. They can be incredibly harmful, even in small amounts.

That is the trouble with club/school gear - once it's embroidered or otherwise marked, it is worthless to anyone not connected with the school. And often it's really good quality gear too. That's why I don't ask my dancers to get anything apart from a T-shirt - I want them to use their bags outside of dance as well if they choose.

Then there’s the growing problem of electronic waste. With the rise of new technology, we’re throwing out more gadgets than ever before. The world produces around 50 million tons of e-waste each year. From old phones and laptops to broken TVs and kitchen appliances, these items are becoming a huge environmental issue.

Update On Imac Find

I found this last week, what I thought was just a Mac display in the dumpster when I was moving. Plugged it in and it needed a mouse and keyboard to connect. Fast forward to this morning as I connected some that I ordered on Amazon and it popped right on and asked me to setup as new iMac, only had to connect with my Apple ID! Looked it up earlier this week and it’s a 2021 iMac, so crazy someone would just leave in the dumpster in recovery mode, but new iMac for me!

They probably didn't. I'm guessing with a lot of these items people accidentally threw them away and were not aware of what they were doing for whatever reason. The people that found them just got lucky to be on the receiving end of the discovery. I know I've throw away a few very important things in my life and didn't realize it until it was too late. I think that's the deal with some of these items being found.

So, we can do our part to minimize harm to the environment by reusing items in our homes instead of tossing them out. For instance, instead of throwing away glass jars, you can repurpose them as storage containers for spices or even as decorative flower vases. You could turn old shirts into cleaning rags.

1970s Togo Sofa Set Found On "Large Items" Garbage Pick Up Day

Still can't believe it, especially because it's super clean with no rips, discoloration, tears and most importantly, it has no bed bugs haha! I left them outside for a close inspection and I vacuumed them, steam cleaned all the creases and folds and then did a preventive treatment with a product I got from a local exterminator!
For those who are not familiar, Togo sofas were launched by Ligne Roset in 1973 but are still produced and are in high demand.. a new set like this would cost north of $15 000cad with a long waitlist. It's definitely my best find ever!

Another case where these products were likely recalled due to contamination or potential carcinogens.

Biggest Find I’ve Found To Date

Little back story/ I find things people are throwing out, clean them, and flip it for profit, we were moving out of our apartment and the last day I saw this and asked my girlfriend if she knew what a SNOO was she flipped when I told her what I had found. We picked it up took it home, got some swaddles to go with it to be able to test it and it worked perfect!! I took the entire thing apart cleaned it head to toe very thoroughly since I knew I could flip it for a big amount I’ve never made before on a single sell, I have it listed now and should sell between $600-$800.

I still have to buy much food but the saved food dictates what to eat during the week and you have to become creative. And also more curious about food itself and when it goes bad (f.e.

I took out the paper recycling here in Prague and found the bin half full of bundled newspapers and magazines. I started to grab some for the fire and discovered a treasure trove of Czech(oslovak) curiosities. They included a couple of newspapers from the Russian invasion of 1968; a nearly complete run of the first 100 issues of Reflex, a political magazine; some scouting magazines from the brief period in 1969 when the scouts were revived before being banned again by the Communists; and various other bits & pieces. I guess someone died and their hoarded papers were just tossed out. I saved a bunch of the most interesting-looking stuff though there was far too much to keep it all. Pretty cool find though.

My mother volunteers at a free community library. They accept used books, but people use the book donations to just throw away whatever they don't want. She once got a box of 20 dog collars (which she gave to the animal shelter), but occasionally she gets some expensive stuff, and often that stuff is given to me. From the library I have a $500 projector (which I use to watch movies outside with my kids in the summer), a nice set of shelves, a great oscillating fan, a Dyson vacuum cleaner (I needed to fix it and replace the battery for $30), and lots of toys for the kids. Magni-Tiles seem to be popular to throw away. A lot of the stuff is pure garbage though. In fact, some people have left actual food waste in the donation repository.

Do people live in places where this is legal? Here, you would be find if caught dumpster diving. I would love to find and donate (or possibly keep) some things like this.
