Default best things found in trash

In out town they have bulk trash pickup twice a year. This is like a super
free yard sale to us. Usually start in the middle class neighborhoods then
move to the richer side of town and it's fun. This past spring I loaded the
pickup full. I picked up a 8 ft piece of a new laminate countertop, no holes
cut in it, has the backsplace and rolled edges. (must have been cut wrong or
wrong color), a old oak 6 drawer dresser, fixed a few drawers and touched up
the finish and gave it to my daughter. A couple of exterior steel entry
doors with the double insulated glass panels, not sure how many gallons and
quart cans of name brand paints. Most of them half full or more. Also
several sheets of treated latice.
As I always said, one mans trash is another mans treasure.
