My town had their spring clean up last week and I cleaned up!!! For those that don't know, this is a time for people to set unwanted items on the curb and anyone can come along and take them home. My hubbys and my finds for the week were a oval glasstop and metal legged table (about a foot and a half long and a foot wide) a long wooden and marble veneer top coffee table and a great rocker recliner! Also for outside we found a metal wheelbarrow with a very small hole near handle but otherwise sevicable. I thought these were great finds for about 5 or 8 bucks of gas! Does anybody else have a spring cleanup or dumpster dive find?:dancing:

I would love it if our community did that. I occasionally find treasures at the dumpsters. I once found a whole box of paperback books. I've found nice Little Tike toys there too. Found a LIttle Tikes desk set. I saw a lady putting out some ferns. I watched her and as soon as she left I went to the dumpsters and took the ferns home.

I wish our town still did that but they did away with it in the last couple of years. We cleaned up when I was in college, though, most of our apartment furniture came from the curb.

I wish our small town would do that. I think it would save lots of junk going into the land fills.

I had never done this before until this year and my younger brother gave me the idea and got me started. To say the least, I am hooked and find myself looking at piles as I am going to work and coming home...teehee!

I wish our area had something like that, so we just have yard sales which are still great with me, cheaper is always better!

The smaller towns around us do this. Usually not until the week after their town-wide yard sales. It allows people a way to get rid of the stuff that didn't sell.

No they don't do that here that I know of.
Good for you and your hubby.

after yard sales here they take it to thrift stores or salvation army.
