Re: [FOAB] Dumpster diving finds (long)

Coming from a long line of Garbage Men -- My Great Granddad started a
Company then my Grandpa took it over in the 50's and then my dad took over in the
70's. I spent many days of my childhood riding in the truck with Dad and
Granddad -- I loved the things we would find. When we got to the dump it was a
treasure chest of things :0

When I was 8 we came home with a huge pickup truck full of Cabbage Patch
Kids -- my mom washed them up and they were good as new. I was the most popular
girl for a little while :)

My parents also got lots of furniture and toys and everything.

I remember some of the drivers would even eat some of the food they found.
I couldn't do that but hey I guess everyone's stomach is different :-)

My dad sold the company in 1996 but I still drive around the night before
garbage pickup in my neighbor checking out what treasures are being gotten rid
of...
