Dive·Dive: Skip / Dumpster Diving, Scavenging and FreeganismbyAtomo

17 mins, 30 secs.

Slowing assembling this RÅSKOG trolley while listening to the new Sunn O))) album. Found it in a large skip... brand new! Also found several boxed and unopened electronics and a decent DVD player -- something for a later post.

Not a fan of Ikea, avoid it at all times... but this trolley is ideal to keep materials in our hobby room. Why do people discard brand new stuff? Why don't even bother to unseal and open stuff?

I love these guys!

Dumpster diving channels on Youtube are a bit of a hit-and-miss really. But over the last 8 or so years I've discovered truly entertaining ones. Here's my top 7:

Big trash night - bisexual bookshelf edition

Also found a couple good plant pots, an IKEA roller cart, two large rubber garage flooring mats, a perfectly good 12x14 jute rug, two more bookshelves, three short cast iron tables, and an antique pickax head! Took three trips to get it all back. Big trash night is fantastic!

We went out like 830 and wrapped up circling the neighborhood by 1030. There were already other folks circling by then.
