i love garbage the best freebies are found digging thru someones trash..i live in a mobile home park and i find the best items in my neighbors trash..i get up early in the morning on garbage day. i borrow my boyfriends truck and i drive thru the park..on one occassion i found a set of old records i am a record collector and i sold two of the records on ebay that i found and made one hundred dollars..the rest i am keeping for a while..i couldnt believe it this person threw out about 40 records all early 60s and 70s rock and yes some beatles those are worth something so i am keeping them for awhile til i  find  their value .. on another time out i found an old clock that i have hanging on my wall.. i also found crown molding  two nice pieces that i used as as a shelf mantle above my dining room on the wall i have a bottle collection there that i also found in the trash..i have been a picker for quiet sometime..but people throw away good stuff....my home is furnished with items found in the trash..my living room furniture was resecued before it made it to the trash heap..my boyfriends brother who is well off decided he wanted new furniture and my boyfriend brought offer his brothers stuff and its beautiful a couch that makes into a slepper and another smaller couch..nothing wrong with it..and i love it..they are the type of people who buy new furniture every year and just toss what they had to the curb..you have to be thrifty to survive in this world today or your not going to make it
