I already have a laundry basket but these were FREE. I also found a free bucket last week.
It’s quite amazing that there’s a place full of free things that you can just take when no one is looking.

Lucky last time I went I ended up with more garbage than I brought there.
At our dump, we’re specifically told not to scavenge. Purely unloading. That didn’t stop me, however, from just happening to kneel down next to a gameboy advanced I saw on the ground. Screen was a little banged up, but it still had batteries, and it still turned on. I’m still riding that high.
I didn’t see a sign explicitly telling me not to but I didn’t ask for permission either.
I don’t know if rule-breaking badasses are allowed with us Dull Men.
“Surely I can fix this old radio I found.”
And even if not, I can keep it for parts.
Now you’re starting to sound like my garage…. I think that’s an ADHD hoarding thing.
My grandfather passed a few years ago, and now that the house is up for sale we cleaned the last bits out.
I managed to grab a bunch of stuff that maybe Someday™ I’ll use. Mostly bits of metal I’ll possibly melt down or use for electroplating, a bunch of old steel tools that are in different states of disrepair, and assorted lengths of wire.
I know I will likely die before I find use for it all, but it seems wasteful to chuck it in the garbage, and I’d rather someone find use for it as is than take it to the scrapyard.
*Tosses it in the parts bin
Luckily that was not the case this time as I went in with an overloaded trailer of deck planks.
