Angel Williams holds what appears to be the first issue of the iconic music magazine Rolling Stone, published in Nov. 1967 and featuring John Lennon on the cover, on April 1, 2022. Williams found the magazine while dumpster diving about a year ago.

I knew of a guy, about ten years ago, who did dumpster diving at the end of each month to take advantage of apartment dwellers who threw out stuff rather than take stuff with them when they moved.

He said he made an additional couple of thousand doing that.

A man found a perfume bottle... in a litter bin somewhere in Salisbury and gave it to a woman who sprayed it on her wrist.

I’ve certainly shopped at Goodwill, et al. I’d dumpster dive, if I saw something I liked.

“I had no idea who this guy was and so I posted it and I had so many people saying, ‘Oh my goodness, that’s John Lennon!’” Williams said. “So when I looked it up, it was worth a nice amount of money, so I kept it.”

She's been doing this for TEN YEARS, and has even created YouTube videos about "How to Dumpster Dive," and yet didn't INSTANTLY recognized Lennon (who is identified by name in the caption!)?!

I'm calling B.S.!

In Chicago, dumpster divers may need a “private scavenger” license costing $250 through the city’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protections in order to sift through other’s trash.

—————————————————

This piece of garbage law is worse than dumpster diving. Only in Chicago. I say that but I’m sure a lot of other liberal hellhole‘s have similar laws.

I know someone who does this. He often finds gold jewelry, silverware, and other sellable items that others foolishly throw in the trash.

If this is not a reprint the magazine could be worth anywhere from two $50-$1000 depending on condition.

How does anyone not know who John Lennon is?

CI was put off from dumpster diving early in life. I can still recall a neighbor child needing an ambulance after he jumped into a bin and stepped on a rusty nail. The nail came up through his gym shoe and through his little foot.

The fire dept. pulled him out. Naturally, all the children in that neighborhood stood around staring, many with their parents saying that’s what you get when you blindly jump down into a filthy dumpster.

You would be surprised what people throw away. Many times it’s practically brand new stuff whether electronic gadgets, clothes, kitchenware, you name it. Dumpster diving has been deemed illegal around certain colleges in the area.

Dumpster diving is a good way to bring home bedbugs…Chicago has been ranked in the top ten cities for those critters for years.

Sometimes there is a very good reason nice things are trashed.

Under Biden Economics, dumpster-diving will probably become a major career option.

If my wife goes shopping, she could drop me off at a salvage yard with an open lot policy and we'll both be happy all day long.
