I'm a security guard at a mall and I always look the other way when I see dumpster divers when I'm the only guard on site. If the businesses throw it away they shouldn't keep people from taking it.

Thank you. A lot of stuff thrown away should be recycled if not caught by a dumpster diver. I hate that people just toss everything into the garbage. And it's great that people can make money by diverting the stuff from a landfill. 😊

The lids are not only cherished by canners but crafters use them to make various ornaments. But the best part of you finding them is you kept them out of landfill. Like all the rest of your found treasures. Many Thanks.

Back in the 60s when I was a little girl(loving, the grandma life these days! ) there where still honest to goodness dumps - stuff wasn’t buried on a regular basis ever. My Mom and dDad would go to the dump and dig around. There was a lot of nasty stuff but there was also some true treasures. Furniture, tools, antiques, all kinds of good useful/sellable stuff. Lots and lots of scrap metal. Fun times!!

I turn scrap metal into precious metals, Gold and Silver! I have dove into dumpsters.....not like Mike does!! WOW man!! You are a legend!!

Man this dude works hard all night with a great attitude. Much respect to you Mike

One time I found a whole butt load of keys in a dumpster. Between the mountain of keys and a couple brass fittings I also found I filled up a 5 gallon bucket. That was a decent turn in.

Well done Mike. The person that chucked the lids in the bin isn’t the brightest person. They could of got a few quid and done some recycling. Unreal what folk throw away. Glad you are taking advantage of numpties Mike.

Wow. I love those lids. They are so exspensive now
