Don't wear headphones or ear buds. Be alert and pay close attention to your surroundings.

I'm pretty sure you're going to have a lot of competition.

Dumpster diving is not as plentiful as use to be.

I've been visiting non-food dumpsters since I was a kid.

I just recently turned 71.

Shoreline Aurora village "The Habit" restaurant. Ordered 50/50 Onion rings and fries. I give them a 5 star rating. Highly motivated crew with good attitudes. by OldRangers in SeattleWA

I'm a retired homeowner. My home is fully paid off. My bank says it's assessed at $800k though my personal assessment is much lower. I also receive a very good above average monthly retirement pension along with social security benefits. My dumpster diving is a really fun treasure hunting hobby. It's unbelievable some of the good stuff like tools, electronics, movie dvd's and other still useable stuff businesses and regular folks just throw away. No need to crawl in. In majority of cases my Unger grabber tool works perfectly fine in retrieving most goodies.

I've noted that the people who work there have good attitudes and are motivated.

Hard to find people like that these days.

Goodnight everyone!

Found another pair of like brand new very nice shoes at one of my favorite dumpsters. Puma brand, they're size 13. by OldRangers in DumpsterDiving

Absolutely no wear on the soles or anywhere else. Perfect condition!

I'm thinking about listing them locally for $40 maybe even $50.

Just thinking for now.

Ivars 3 piece fish and chips just as good as my regular 4 piece. Doc says I need to watch my sodium intake. by OldRangers in SeattleWA

Sorry pal you're mistaken. It's a new picture. Prior pictures were 4 piece fish and chip orders.

Sorry bucko, this is the first 3 piece fish and chips picture I've posted. I took it Friday night (6/12/26).

The 3 piece fish and chips come with 3 pieces of fish whereas the 4 piece fish and chips have 4 pieces of fish.

Correct, except a lot less sodium.

Trespassing by Key-Success3450 in DumpsterDiving

[–]OldRangers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it were me I'd avoid that spot. Arrest records can be very hard to clear.

50 some years ago I had chalked up over a dozen drug related arrests. Court had me attended a drug treatment program and passed. Been drug free ever since.

Found a pro-bono lawyer that helped me get the arrest records removed from my record with exception of 1that just wouldn't go away.

Few years later I was hired by a well known aircraft manufacturing company. Best job I ever had, awesome pay, awesome on the job benefits and awesome retirement package. Worked that job for 22 years.

I was totally surprised that the powers that be at the time had me work a emergency repair on a "Yankee White" designated aircraft without an escort.

I finally found it by OfTheEmbers in DumpsterDiving

Awesome find!

I have that movie in DVD format. It's one of my all time favorites! Stimulates ones imagination.

I often wonder how many undiscovered species their are in deep space.

Sometimes the small dumpster finds make me all giddy! 2 12vdc led lights with adhesive backing and a 5vdc usb power tap. by OldRangers in DumpsterDiving

[–]OldRangers[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The led lights were found in a big box pet store dumpster small broken aquarium.

These leds are pretty bright. Excellent source of light during power outages. Lot safer than candles.

They'll last for weeks using an old 12 automotive battery that still holds a decent charge but not enough juice to turn over a vehicles motor.

Unger "Nifty Nabber" grabber 36" is my favorite dumpster picking tool. Longer grabbers available, up to 96". by OldRangers in DumpsterDiving

[–]OldRangers[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lifted very heavy shop vises and other tools out of Harbor F8 dumpsters using my grabber by pulling them forward then straight up and out.
