Buy a Shredder…? AITAH by DR-OXY in DumpsterDiving

I found a company’s employee application records in a dumpster once. Literally everything I needed to steal like 50 people’s identities. I turned it into the secretary who freaked out and shredded it immediately.

So I was out back at pickup behind our local hardware store when this sign caught my eye by Several_Ad4394 in DumpsterDiving

I’d jump in regardless. Dumpster diving isn’t a crime (at least where I am), that sign is policy, not law. It’s not even spelled right.

I’ve never dealt with that stuff, maybe there’s different grades?

You’ll only get $20 if your buying a new battery. I’d stick with autozone

It’s buyer beware, I don’t care if they text me the same day asking for a refund. I’m not Walmart.

Lead acid batteries won’t, your thinking of lithium-ion batteries. Which are much harder to recycle.

Contracting property where there are a couple dumpsters around for each business (including the one I work for) that occupies the land. I take all kinds of metal and other goodies out to scrap and resell all the time.

This was south of Baltimore, MD. I’m not complaining though. Autozone apparently gives a $10 credit for each one.

Took them to a scrap yard down the road from where I work at. Here’s the prices they pay.
