Sounds interesting.  I'm not sure I'd do it either.  I think a lot of YouTube Videos are exaggerated about how much money they make.

That's a lot of money I could sure use.  Dumpster diving isn't really something that crosses my mind to do.

I think if I could not find a job I would do anything to support my family - that is when you might find me dumpster diving.

The only thing I would find is probably a good case of Covid.

Some get stuck in not nice what about staphylococcus bacteria. one man was drunk and fell asleep .... trash truck came and yes he did pass away so be careful. I heard on the tv that garbage and trash is the property of the people in charge if it is worth money. they said the use the items and such to give back to the county like us so think think think :highfive:

I know of a few very wealthy people who practice the art of dumpster diving. There's no accounting for taste sometimes, ya know.  :neutral:

I love watching dumpster diving vids. Seems like hit or miss . Not everyone who has done it has had all bad luck some pretty good luck finding things that are maybe broke but fixable or something that is just worth a decent amount with nothing wrong with it or minor damage. I'd never do it my knees would probably slowly dye trying

That's a lot more money than I would have guessed. The person probably is doing it professionally rather than as a hobby. 2 to 3 thousand a month takes a lot of efforts.

I saw a TV show last night where a guy actually did dumpster diving from a second story window and quickly discovered he landed on a *bleep* corpse.

If I lived in areas that had popular stores id so go dumpster diving. But unfortunately, I don't so I don't. I love watching it though. A bunch of YouTubers is dedicated to it and some make some pretty good money others find just plain junk they turn into cash like precious metals and such. Sometimes things are just tossed out because they look old and warn out but TLC there like brand new again

We use to go dumpster diving years ago. It was a lot of fun, but we have got  too old for that now.
