We have this thrifty custom here in my neck of the woods. If we have something that we want to get rid of but that might be useful to someone else, we take it and sit it beside the dumpsters. I don't know what the local sanitation department thinks of our redneck recycling, probably not much, but it's a system that works.
Now, just to be clear, I am not really into dumpster diving per se, but on a couple of occasions, I have happened along at the right time and scored something I could put to good use. Today was such a day. Someone had put a bassinet by the dumpster, and I happen to have some babies on the farm that could use it.
It's getting a little crowded in there: 20 barred rock chicks and 4 khaki campbell ducks. They will be moving out to brooder as soon as it warms up again a little.
And many thanks to the neighbor who left the bassinet.
