I love my neighborhood
thrift store, and I shop there quite frequently. Amazingly, I can find items that still have the tags on them. When I lived in the city, I was shocked by what people would throw away in the
dumpsters, just because they don't have the time to give an item to someone who would benefit from using that unwanted item.
CC Christiansen is a proud, experienced dumpster diver who is quite shocked at
some of what he has found while dumpster diving. He has been kind enough to give us a list of items that he would like us to donate to charity, the thrift store, or those in need. Really, how hard can it be?
When you read
CC's list, please hold on to the edge of your seat. I must admit I was incredibly shocked that some people have such little regard for other people, and nearly fell off the chair in disbelief. Please think of others this
Holiday season, and give your unwanted treats and presents to your local charity or someone who needs whatever you might want to throw away.

I know I'm guilty of buying food I don't like. I'm such an optimistic shopper, thinking of my ideal meals, not the reality of it. That's a great list and important things to think about during this season and all year. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyAt graduation time, the students of the local university pretty much throw their entire apartments and dorm rooms in the trash rather than move the stuff back home.
ReplyI have found intact furniture, microwave ovens, appliances, etc. and took them home for a garage sale the next weekend.
While it is kinda sad that they throw this stuff away, it's great for me because I can make some extra money from their laziness.
