Thanks for the heads up. To give you a headsup, go touch base with your local computer. I scored 34 monitors and I am having a field day taking them apart
Wow! Good score! Preciate the heads up. Will definitely look into it
yep I have been run out of more of those then then I can remember. Pet store dumpsters are another good one.
What have you been finding? Also, here we have several different type of dollar stores.Quote:

Pet store dumpster? What can you find there?
Dollar General is where I usually find stuff just because I happen to be there more often anywaybut Family Dollar seems to practice the samhabits of throwing away things like seasonal items, anything that shows the slightest damage even on just the package, they seem to throw away old stock as new stuff comes in. Last good thing I got was a brand new $15 oscillating fan, the box was damaged. I've found loads of makeup, household items (lightbulbs, laundry detergent, etc), lots of kids toys, books, my bathroom mirror. Lots of little things I can't really remember it all! Kinda like treasure huntin.
I get all my safety gear from a dumpster behind a industrial safety store....
Is this legal in your area or do you have permission from the property owners to be there? In my area I would surly get a ticket for trespassing/criminal mischief.
what day of week do you generally go?Quote:

As far as I know in my area its perfectly legal as long as you're not searching for personal documents. But also, i cut the grass at one of them so its normal for me to be there anyway. Haven't quite figured out the best days to be there yet, sometimes I score and sometimes I dont
It would be when they get shipments coming in.Quote:
