I have gotten two kitties from dumpsters. They were both really cool, great pets. I didn't dive for them though. Does that count?

Mostly we find good building materials and shelving. Actually the best dumpster diving/skip trawling was in the UK -here people just put the good stuff on the kerb/curb so no need to rummage in the trash.

A couple times a year there is a "big trash" pickup week. I'm sure lots of places do this, but before the city can pick a lot of it up someone has already grabbed it. It really works out well for everyone, even the poor soul I watched pick up an old plastic cracked watering can with no spout thingy left.

yeah, they do that here.

People do that in California too. You can find all kinds of great stuff in really good shape, including furniture.

My first place was decorated in 'Early Junk Pile'.

We have curbside collection here too. There is sometimes some good stuff out there. It's always good to be able to get rid of some of that old junk that wont really fit in the boot of the car to take to the dump.

My house looks like Sanford & Son's. Can't heppit.

I know people (usually with really nice cars for some reason) who get all sorts of gems from skips, kerbs, charity shops etc.

I have never. Just not my brand of luck.
Or at least, I'm not interested enough to spend enough time looking.

Money now... I get plenty of that.
In the last week I've picked up 8p.
It all adds up you know!
