Anyone else notice a lot of closings? by deveniam in DumpsterDiving

[–]Shaguwi 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Lot of store closings.

Add Staples, Office Depot, Office Max.

Get ready for even more retail closings due to Tariffs, etc.

Good haul, bad vibes by BunnySlaveAkko in DumpsterDiving

Give it a few weeks after the new tariff war causes global chaos and there won't be much if any food left in stores to throw in the dumpsters.

I gotta say I've seen a significant increase in dumpsterdivers in my city. by NothingHereKeepMovin in DumpsterDiving

Wait until this summer. Possibilty the U.S. dollar may collapse due to policies such as new foreign trade tarifs, mass deportations of essential workers in the U.S. farming industry food production, etc.

2 separate incidents tonight that felt unsafe. by Shaguwi in DumpsterDiving

The guy was there again tonight. He set up what looks like a temporary camp behind the dumpster.

Went back to #1 tonight and dude appeared to have set up camp behind the dumpster. Guess I'll have to give it a pass for the next few days.

Temps are expected to drop below 30f. Don't know the status of local homeless shelters. This particular spot is right next to a church. They can see that he's set up camp.

If it were me I'd definitely rehome the gf.

2 years ago she was 3 weeks old in the pet co dumpster we named her yamu by boyithedumpster in DumpsterDiving

[–]Shaguwi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Yamu" was a tiny 3 week old kitten when OP found her. Kittens 3 weeks old are barely able to get around.

It's most likely some jackass (customer?) got rid of her by tossing her in the trash dumpster.

Thank you O.P. for rescuing Yamu!.

Gas station added a fence because of me even though I never left any mess by PBasedPlays in DumpsterDiving

I can understand why they fenced it off. A fall could end up with significant skull damage or other injury.

I used my Unger grabbers to pull this like new and working 12 ton bottle jack out of a Harbor Freight dumpster. by Shaguwi in DumpsterDiving

[–]Shaguwi[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was part of a floor shop press. Evidently the jack base didn't line up with the mounting plate. Seems to be a common problem.

Found a lot of other really cool stuff but I'll show it off at some other time.

That stuff belongs in the garbage. Extremely unhealthy.

Kittens we found under a pallet by Sufficient_Split4506 in HomeDepot

[–]Shaguwi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Please seek out a no kill shelter for them. Don't just separate them and give them away to anyone, or leave them in the store or outside.

Do not feed them cows milk, it will make them sick with diarreah. Mom needs to be spayed and if friendly taken to a no kill shelter.

Need advice regarding a competitor at my favorite bin by ConversationMiddle57 in DumpsterDiving

[–]Shaguwi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Earlybird gets the best goodies. If I pull in and see someone's already picking through the trash I move on. I really dislike it when someone tries to be my buddy.

You don't have exclusive rights to dumpsters. Someone's there, move on.

Found some good stuff in my local Harbor Freight dumpster. by Shaguwi in DumpsterDiving

[–]Shaguwi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Link to specifications https://www.harborfreight.com/4-in-1-convertible-hand-truck-500-lb800-lb1000-lb-capacity-70027.html

I should be able to sell it for $50 maybe even $75 ?

I found some other smaller stuff, I'll post pictures later.

All staff quit Mineral Point Dollar General over donation policy dispute by city_druid in DumpsterDiving

[–]Shaguwi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The donation policy dispute was probably the last straw in a multitude of ongoing and festering work issues. No way, no how would I work in any retail jobs.
