It’s amazing what people will throw away. Late 1960s Schwinn ‘Fair Lady’ cruiser. My wife needed a bike and absolutely loves it!

Found this rascal next to a dumpster, she made a great addition to the family and is by far my best dumpster diving haul (first pic is her the first day with us).

Why would someone throw this away???

Found in the alley. It weighed a million tons, because those pillars are real marble.

I found this ring in the dumpster on Monday! Had it appraised yesterday and found out it’s a handmade gold ring from the 60s-70s! It’s 14k gold band is worth $200+ (stone is glass). I also found those tiny hands with it haha.

Drove around picking up pallets people no longer wanted and made myself a headboard out of them.

I found her dumpster diving this morning I was able to find homes for her two sisters but nobody wanted her. Looks like now I have a cat.

Tenants in my apartment complex got evicted. Left this in the dumpster. Just needs to be cleaned up a little.

Don't know what I'm going to do with it, but couldn't see this be ruined.

I've always wanted a signed book by this author. Never thought I'd find it in a dumpster.

Thought you guys might like my fav trash pick ever: made my dad drive 25 mins one way in his truck in spitting rain while I sat with it to make sure no one else took it ???? has the original record player inside also. I know it’s not everyone’s style but it’s like it was meant to be in my 50’s ranch!

Got this side table from the curb. It's top was broken, so I spend a little over 3 hours and €4 worth of rope and glue to upcycle it to this!
13
Thought someone was throwing away an old violin. Nope, it's roulette!
14
I just don't know how you throw these away. Too cool.

This beautiful chair I saved from a skip today!

So excited about this curbside find!! The wife wanted new barstools to replace our crappy wood and cloth ones. Found a set of 4 of these with a sign that read “free! I’m vegan now” HA! Cleaned up the leather already going to do some chrome repair good as new! Thank you vegan stranger!

Husband: “Honey It’s just an empty case, I am not climbing in for that.” Wife (me): “Just get in and get it the case might be worth something, plus I have a feeling.” Who was right? Well it was the wife of course.

I work as a school photographer. Best believe that when I pulled up at the elementary school I was photographing and saw the giant GORGEOUS mirror near the school dumpster?? I snuck her into my back seat before heading into the school ????????

Our first time diving last night. Only one find, but we were thrilled! (She hasn’t stopped guarding it)

Last Summer I Found 2 China Teacups, and Last Night I Found the Matching Saucers in a Different City!

Found this 1934 first edition Mary Poppins in the trash of the building I work in.

My dad pulled this gigantic canvas out of the dumpster at the school he works at, I taped the one tear it had, covered it in black gesso and painted this.
