Modern who,
You are so funny, but I have found NUMEROUS items in dumpsters--in fact, I could do a show on the HGTV network on how to furnish an entire house in 2 weeks thru dumpsters only!
I have found a nice wooden picnic basket on the curbside and started to pick it up--heard glass tinkle inside--opened it up and there was a glass punch bowl with twelve cups-unbroken!
It has served many folks at wedding and baby showers. I also found a perfectly fine wrought iron queen bed with rails at a dumpster--my youngest son was sleeping on a mattress on the floor at the time in his apartment--voila--he had a nice bed! (now 6 years later he STILL has it). I could go on and on, but you'll just have to watch my show on HGTV!ha
We are a society of "excess". Most people choose to throw things out. Others rent a storage unit and pay $75 and upward a month to rent that to store things in. HINT: that's the wave of the future--invest in storage units!
But, yes I have been known to curbside and dumpster dive. Sure wish I had found those yellow background stamp!

Worth a thousand dollars? The ones with the yellow background (it says) were never released. Interesting. That kind of stuff never happens to me! ha
