so i decided to take some shit to the trash, and BAM right on top is a computer moniter, about 17", and i get it, and bam, under it's another. so i take the one back to my apartment, and test it, and it works, so i get my gf (cause it's deeper, i needed her to hold it while i get out of the dumpster), and i lifted it up, and BAM another under it. so she takes the small, and i'm digging, and i found a walker, and a ceramic water cooler thing (for 5 gallon water things) and a cd player, and a coffie mug, and i grab the walker to take to greencross (medical MJ place)
anyway, the 2nd moniter has some problems, screen goes slightly dark a little, but it's getting better the more i ran it (it was a little wet)... and the 3rd one was fucked all together, but the first one, WAY nice. it's all freakin huge compared to my small one's.

I used to find computer parts and monitors in a dumpster at this phone company. We would always just throw them off the building or blow them up with M-80's....

my step-cousin once found a bunch of vibrating dildos in a dumpster behind a sex shop (yeah, i don't know why he was in that dumpster either!) - with some friends of his, he went to some fancy hotel in Indianapolis and dropped the dildos from the top down into the lobby...
and to think, those dildos were just going to go to waste!

Depends on whether you play games. You can get an old Matrox 2- or 3- head vid card for under $50.

This is the skill of
GARPING
i.e. Garbage Picking
We here in the northen suburbs of Detroit have coined this activity as
GARPING
It can pay well. The very monitor I am using at this very min came from industrial GARPING
Buy the way industrial GARPING can give a man a decent paycheck.

LOL, industrial garping...we call it stealing here.
dumpsters here are all locked, and they smell like you would not want to get in if they werent!
so how'd that cofee mug turn out? any leaks, foreign tastes?
what a cool thread!

The Supreme court in 1999 set laws regarding Garping.
Once the garbage is at the curb. You no longer own it. It becomes public property until the garbage truck snags it. Until the it's fair game.
With industrail dumpter diving it can get tricky. It's better to just ask at the back door. Almost every Hi-lo driver will let you dumpster dive.
