    I spend all day dealing with those damn things. Never know what you will find. Got a whole container full of really nice all aluminum platform ladders from a Target once they were changing out there whole store to heavy steal rolling stairs with the high safety railings. Gave a bunch away but kept a 6-8-10-12 footer for my self things are awesome.

    I`ll admit, I`m guilty of checking out dumpsters as well. When I was 17, we found a TON of rubber tubing that we used for months ... sling shots, trying our buddy`s 79 Civic to the garage ... that was funny watching him try to drive away (that was in my pre-detailing/car care OCD that I have now) ... but it was still funny.

    So what do you do with the stuff you find? Sell it on eBay

    If you come across a dumpster full of money, let me know.

    Want to take my old range? Works perfect, but upgraded the kitchen. I can`t even manage giving it away for free

    Obviously joking since you`re in Canada, but still. That`s probably how you found this new tv. Sometimes it`s hard to give away perfectly functioning things for free.

    Robb.- I`m guessing the RCA`s box was nice and clean, considering that you put it on your rear seat

    That`s sure a great find...

    Don`t they have charity places in your area that people can donate stuff to? I`ve given lots of household/building supply stuff to the local ReStore place.

    People dont have time to drag a tv to the charity places.
