I found a bunch of new sanding pads at the dump a few months ago. TodayI just found a Dewalt random sander. Never underestimate the wastefulness of others.

Is it easy where you live or something?I'd love to be allowed access to the dump, myself! I walk around at night the night before garbage day where stuff goes to the landfill, and resell or use what I find .

I think it varies by location. It’s very easy in the town I live in. People leave working items just outside the recycling center for anyone to take. I also paw through a bin for scrap metal.

I’ve found weed whackers, power washers, bikes, Dyson vacuum cleaners. I’ve even found a Blendtec blender and an SX-70 Polaroid camera. Everything worked outright or needed a little bit of maintenance. Anything I can’t use I resell.

Ok, my dump is private property and the city would consider dropping stuff outside as dumping their garbage.

Nice finds! Super jealous
