Great dumpster finds

We feed homeless people out of the big commercial bakery dumpster. Nothing wrong with the bread. Even get some fancy turkish stuff every once in a while.

I haven't gone scavenging regularly in a while- house is packed. 2 trips this month yielded: 200 brand new books in sealed crates, $800 cash resale value (I deal books). Dozens of gallons of juice, fruity drink, and some 12packs of coke. Several hundred individually wrapped cookies, and several hundred tubes of toothpaste, in sealed cases. Nearby homeless & friends got everything I couldn't use.

I'm reviving this thread (again) because I had a fruitful week at the dumpster (skip?).

Here's what I found:
*a suitcase full of shoes. women's 1950s-1960s high heeled shoes. clean, wearable, in my size. i salvaged three pairs. two of them have dainty bows on the toes. i've already worn two of them.

*a hanging lamp in the shape of a pilgrim hat. orange plastic. working.

ok. that's it.
