      One time my neighbor was throwing out a great drum set around Christmas time. I thought of selling it, but it’s a bulky item and hard to store. I put it free on Craigslist at 10pm that night and some viewer guy went ballistic! He said he works at night and needed to buy his boy a set of drums cause his kid loved his dad’s drums so much. He came right away and got them. He told me his jaw dropped when he saw the quality and condition! Sometimes it’s fun

      I live in a wealthy neighborhood and I find it incredibly hard to give away things, even in our Facebook group. It was much easier when I lived in a middle-class neighborhood.
      There are a few things at play in this current neighborhood:
      ° Everyone already has what they need. I've noticed most of the families here are (1) now mostly in the phase of decluttering/minimizing/simplifying, (2) participating in very specific hobbies/activities different from their neighbors so they don't all want the same things, or (3) are into experiences/travel as opposed to buying and owning more things.
      ° Our neighborhood has an HOA that does not allow leaving garbage cans or items outside except for trash day, so leaving things out for free doesn't happen. We also don't get tons of drive through traffic because of the next point.
      ° Our community is on a mountain top about 2000 feet in elevation above the surrounding area. A lot of charities will not come up here to pick up donations (it got worse after Covid restrictions).
      All that being said, a lot of us do take things down to the nearest charity. But I know that sometimes people have a lot going on in their families we may not be aware of and they are just focused on getting things out of their house quickly to create order or they are changing phases in life (kids growing up, empty nesting, making space to take care of aging parent or spouse, retiring, etc).
      Anyhoo, just thought that might give some insight as to why sometimes people throw away "good things"!

I became overwhelmed, so what I did is that I kept some of the things (a bunch of little toys and some Christmas decorations). I threw away the "biodegradable trash" (food, etc.). It was really messy. I left the two vacuum cleaners, which I put together (because they were dismantled), there... and an easy chair, which was left upside down. "I fixed everything to look neat, side by side to each other." The next day, to my surprise, "everything was gone !!!"

    Car stereos after Xmas used to be plentiful I had tons but these days all factory stuff. When I was in sanitation you new when electronics was good because rich neighborhoods cut cords off all them so they didn't work. Just had replace the cords. That's rich ppl for ya.

    I put out a stove and a glass top coffee table where the glass had been broken. No sooner did we walk in the house and a young pregnant woman came to the door asking if they could have the stuff. They lost everything to a fire.( there was a big apartment fire just days before) my sister and I pulled it back from the curb, they had to go get a truck. By the time they got back we had cleaned the stove up and I found the books that went with it. My neighbor cut a piece of plywood for the top of the table. Then on top of the stove we all put extra bedding and can goods for them to take.

    A couple of years ago I found a round antique table with dolphin-face legs. It was painted white and chipped and the previous owner had painted the top a weird lavender. The paint was ghastly but I liked the table. It sat in my garage for about 3 years, then I decided it would make a nice little table by the front door to hold mail. I went to Home Depot and bought 2 sample-size mixed jars of paint (you're supposed to paint it on your wall to see if you like it but I do other things); one was sort of an ochre and the other was cream. I used the ochre for the base and the cream for the top; I also painted to sides of the top so that it looks like a different piece on top of it. I mixed it with a powder compound first that eliminates the need for sanding; I just hosed it off outside. The compound and the 2 sample jars came to $15. I then went to a glass place and had a piece of glass cut for the top, then I bought an adult coloring book with flowers. I found a pattern I liked and took it to Staples to have it enlarged and shrunk on different pieces of paper because I wasn't sure how I wanted it to look, then I cut everything apart and arranged them in a pattern I liked; leaves and flowers, and taped everything to one side, then flipped it over. I used Tri-Chem liquid silver pen to trace the outlines of everything (otherwise it would have just looked like blobs of color) and bought some textile paints at Michael's with some very skinny-tipped brushes. (I already had some on hand so I didn't have to buy everything.) I did this over a 3-week period to make use of their coupons that come out routinely. When my project was finished, I took off all the taped papers and flipped it over, so that the paint itself is on the table and the glass is on the top. I think the textile paints cost me maybe $20 total. I now have a table that looks like I spent a fortune for it.

    I just subscribe to your videos and I'm addicted!! I'm having a blast! You seem like a nice guy. Its incredible the things you find in your videos. major thumbs up to ya! Hey, I used to work with this lady who her brother-in-law was a garbage man in one of the super, super old money wealthy areas Hillsborough in northern California. People would throw out stuff like, a complete set of high end antique china, a box of jewels were found, over 100 year old Victorian German and French dolls , on and on. The guy and his wife furnished their whole home over the years with the stuff he came across. beautiful very high end furniture and antiques. BTW, driving in the evening like that be sure to stay safe!

    Dang! What amazing finds in trash! Friken love it! Makes me sick they couldn't just went to donate it. I've never and never will idc how much money I have I will take my time to donate or just find someone who wants it rather than fill landfields! That's one thing that should be illegal to throw working usable items away. Looking in big corps dumsprts and see food and everyday items is sickening as well. I'm a diver and I absolutely love it!

      If I went during the day a lot of this stuff would already. I’m not the only picker out here that goes at night and there Steven more pickers and scrappers that come by in the morning. Not only that, the trash in these neighborhoods usually gets picked up early in the morning. It’s a lose lose situation. I know what I’m doing, just sit back and enjoy.

    6:59 Bro that’s literally the printer we use at my job! It’s hella expensive, it can print anything you want from puzzles ,canvass and posters. That’s crazy that someone would throw that away, like it’s easily a 2,000$ printer.
