So Much to Rescue from these Dumpsters!!

[@breafkast]

Hi friends! This was such a great dive - we started at retail but quickly move over to some apartment dumpsters and I'm so glad we did. The pearl china plate set is beautiful - I'm really happy it didn't break in the trash before we got to it! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!! Thank you so much for watching :D

Looks like you lucked out on someone's moving day! Leaving beer & ice cream, cleaning supplies, etc. Way to go!! These are racks that go over your sink to use as a drying rack. I stack my dishes there as I rinse them before loading up the dishwasher. I also will soak a pot in the sink, then lay the rack down, and soak another pot (for holidays), or just soak a pot in the sink, underneath the rack, while I stack the rinsed dishes & load them into the dishwasher. It's very handy for large families like mine (we currently have eight living at home). 17:02 Score on the melon liqueur too! 17:28 Love that plank of wood! Your husband has a great eye for things too!

[@hitchheike2]

The black tray is a boot tray for your entryway. Or you can use it under the pets water and food bowl to prevent a mess ...the metal thing is a over the sink dish drying rack

[@connieblack5276]

Yep!

Useful in snow area so snow doesn't melt onto the floor. Understand why you had no idea what it was. Lol

Came to let em know about the tray too. I have 2, one for our shoes, one for pet dishes. They def come in handy.

Haha yup! I have two. Great in snowy weather but rain and mud too!

[@debramellinger181]

Also great for under indoor plants just in case it’s been overwatered.

[@CatherineFedewa]

I am so amazed how you and Alex can work together as a united and loving couple. I am addicted to watching your enthusiasm and your commitment to help others with food and clothing. I am now 64 years old but the soul of a 45-year-old and am ambitious to try and do this. I live in a small town, but there is so many homeless people here that live on the riverbank woods and this town could care less about them. They wander the streets here looking in people's trash for food and clothing all the time. I am inspired to try and help them. Thank you for the encouragement and making people aware of the waste these giant retail stores do instead of donating, and the way we waste and not donate!.

[@2avcrm]

The black tray is for pet food bowls to keep water/food from spilling all over the floor. It can also be used for muddy/wet shoes or boots at the front door. The rolling metal bars go over the top of your sink so you can use it as a counter or as a drying rack directly over the sink.

[@adventurebythemile]

It’s for shoes next to your door inside. I have one.

[@tarynb4174]

It’s a boot mat they sell them at Walmart

[@FourHuskyHomestead]

Oh and yes the sink dryer. I use one in my Rv it helps with more flat space I put my wood cutting board on it. Hopefully they read the comments and learn all about these funny looking things.

I thought of you guys today. My brother, sister-in-law and I had to clear out my oldest brother's room (in a boarding house) as he died last week. There was SO MUCH we wanted to donate and curb, but everything was super filthy and there was a serious threat of bed bug contamination. Also the landlord didn't want a curb pile that would attract people (not a good part of town). It was just a single room, but packed to the gills with good quality, usable stuff. I live an hour away, so was able to salvage a car-full that I feel I can sanitize/decontaminate. But it was very sad and the waste bothered us so much. Most of it was lost to the landfill. It was such an eye-opener to have my affairs in order for when that time comes, to reduce clutter, and keep everything super clean. ☹

[@wisegirlways4040]

sometime you can put stuff next to clothing bins a lot of people will look through them to see what they can save

Oh and almost forgot to mention my idea lol that beautiful piece of raw edged wood would have looked awesome setting on those pedestals you found awhile back for plants~Starla

[@robinbarnett1706]

the green rullelr thing is a healing cutting board for quilting, you can cut fabric and paper oni t, and the cutting board heals itself from the cuts and stays nice. it would come in handy for your shipping for measuring things for the right container.

[@julien2912]

It would also come in handy for Alex's sewing projects as he likes to mend and reconstruct T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc...

[@organizersrus]

Fun IDEA 💡- If it wouldn’t make you uncomfortable, it’d be fun for you to do a home walkthrough in your house to show all of the things you have that have come from dumpsters!! ❤

[@wargomkw]

Yes. Very useful but that one looks like it is missing one of the bars.

[@robinbarnett1706]

i love bones, my two cats are black, one3 short haired and one very long haired, in fact we say Gulliver wears chaps, because the hair on his hips and legs is super long so he looks like his bottom is fat, but he is very slim and healthy. i quickly grabbed something I could reach out of a waolgreens dumpster the other day. it was one of their make up units, the shelves in clear plastic qwith all of the sections. I have it filled with my bias tape and rick rack and stuff for sewing and quilting, There were so many that will go into the land fill and never decompose they will rust and break and just sit there for thousands of years, it is so upsetting at times.

[@kmclane12]

In college one of the people I knew took the liquor boxes and put that on the walls of their garage. It made a pretty cool “wallpaper” looking 👀 quilt like design. Because of all the metallic details!!! Just a thought…you could even do just one wall!!! That piece of wood someone probably would have bought that at your garage sale. The silver bar rolling mesh things are to use over your sink to allow you to dry dishes.

[@kerry3227]

That tree board would have a great shelf after a couple layers of clear coating

[@rockreader4298]

That slab of wood would be a Cool shelf for Bones to walk or sleep on, by securing it to the wall with brackets. A pretty slab like that, in that size sells for about fifty bucks in these parts. Nice shelf for plants too.

These are racks that go over your sink to use as a drying rack. I stack my dishes there as I rinse them before loading up the dishwasher. I also will soak a pot in the sink below, then lay the rack down, and soak another pot (during holidays), or just soak a pot in the sink, underneath the rack, while I stack the rinsed dishes & load them into the dishwasher. It's very handy for large families like mine (we currently have eight living at home), or for someone that doesn't have much counter space.

My brother had the set when he was married the first time in the 90s. He gave it to my Mom & over the years & grandkids, etc later- all that was left of it was three plates.

You can also use those metal drying racks as trivets...to safely place large pots/cookie sheets/casserole dishes on your countertops so you needn't worry about burning or damaging them. The best part is that when they get dirty, you just roll them up, and throw them in the dishwasher to clean and sterilize them. They are definitely in my Top 3 USEFUL kitchen gadgets I've bought in the last few years.

[@barbieloveskings]

Love the haul and being from Canada, the black tray that you have the smoke detector sitting on is called a boot or shoe tray. This is where we put our boots after coming in from all the snow that we get here in London, Ontario, Canada. We don't get as much as some parts of Canada get's, but we still get our fare share lol. Have yourselves a great day, evening!!

The blown glass figurines are beautiful, it’s a real shame they ended up in the dumpster. Great find on the china set. The crafting and holiday supply sells good on Mercari. And the black rubber tray is a boot or shoe tray to set by your door. So dirty boots and shoes can be left outside.

great haul and you both saved so much stuff from the landfill; i would have taken that piece of wood and will always take good clean wood when I find it; it costs so much; I've picked some up from curbside trash for a future greenhouse and raised plant beds and people are always asking about it and I just say no, I'm using that. It costs so much bought new. That looked like a good piece of cedar, could buy some legs at hobby lobby or Home Depot and make a behind-the-couch or entrance table or cut in half for side/end tables. That china was a great catch too and it would have been such a waste if it had gone to the landfill.
