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!

On a more natural note, we also have organic waste, which includes all sorts of biodegradable materials like food scraps, paper, and even some types of plastic. Instead of tossing these items in the trash, they can be composted to create nutrient-rich soil, which is great for growing new plants.

We often forget about things that could be recycled or reused, like old furniture or household appliances. With a little creativity, household waste like an outdated lamp could find new life, reducing waste and giving us unique, repurposed items instead of more junk for the landfill.

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.

There are also several telegram groups to share saved or other foods like apples from your garden . I think this is fantastic. 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. Joghurt is good even months after the printed date. You should look, sniff and taste first of course to verify but I always did this)

What I Found Taking Out The Trash In My Apt Complex

No idea if it works yet & I plan on swapping out the joycons sometime in the future!! But I sold my switch a few months ago to pay for some bills so this feels like a little gift from the universe ☺️✨

So much waste. I am glad some countries are passing laws that demand shops to give the food to food banks and the like. There are also websites where shops can post what they are going to throw away for people to collect and distribute.

In the USA this is tricky. If anybody gets sick, there will be a lawsuit. It's why fast food places would rather throw away their leftovers, than give it away. They are afraid of litigation.

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.

It's disgusting how much we throw away, especially food. What, I ask, is wrong with donating stuff you don't want to a reputable charity?

where i'm from i found a FB grpup called "FreeCycle" where people put up free stuff they don't use anymore. Feels more humanethan dumpster diving for people needing anything. When i first moved away on my own i had no chairs in my apartment and found some perfectly good ones there, the lady that put them up just got new ones and didn't want to hussle to sell the old ones.Pretty cool

I really appreciate all social media groups where people share/gift away their stuff and food to others (I use telegram and know that there are Facebook and WhatsApp groups too). And also our tiny sharing shelves in frontyards or sometimes just paper boxes or so.

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.

My friend lives in an upscale condo building. Every week her son checks out the trash . He says you wouldn't believe the brand new, valuable items that rich people just toss out with no thought. Too lazy to be bothered to donate?

I recently became disabled and had to leave my job. I had a lot of good furniture in storage while waiting for a larger apartment, but the monthly cost was becoming prohibitive. No charity or thrift store would pick up and I can't carry an antique armoire. I had to pay for a junk pickup service to come and load up. Very sad. Now I have to hire another guys or guys to move the bookcases to my current apartment.

I am shocked that some people would take food, especially meat and meat products, from a dumpster. Groceries routinely dump food that is outdated or recalled. How long was the meat sitting in a warm dumpster before It was discovered? Salmonella, E. coli and other food-borne infections are not fun and can be fatal.

I find this absolutely shocking and disgusting - we’re exploiting the world to death and this is how people treat the results. No excuse for this when there’s so many charities, recycling facilities, food banks - this MUST be made illegal, it’s not just one or two items. People suck.

Man it should be illegal to throw this stuff away. My neighbors moved recently, and I pulled bag after bag out of their trash bin. They threw away a ton of kids stuff, perfectly good unopened food, expensive, high-quality sunscreen, and other facial products, stationary, and office supplies, the list goes on and on. I donated most of it but scored a few awesome items!

Any supermarket/discounter. Especially in countries with 24/7 opening hours are customers expecting constantly packed shelves. I get especially mad at meat dumped. This means an animal was born, raised and killed, just to be tossed into the garbage. Food crime, animal cruelty and inexcusable waste of resources. You eat what is killed for you. All of it.
