Trashy Tuesday Calculating The Dumpster
Trashy Tuesday Calculating the Dumpster.
Happy Trashy Tuesday! Hope you had a VERY TRASHY week. I have been out of town, and slowed up on my Trashy Ways (a bit). This morning however, I was DOWN IN THE DUMPS again.
I was fortunate to go to Hawaii last week and spend time with my family and my in-laws. I used every OUNCE of self control to stay away from Dumpsters, Curb Side Shopping and anything Free. I knew I had very limited space in my carry on. Therefore, my Dumpster Diving was more like the equivalent of WINDOW SHOPPING. Only, I didn’t get to check out how my hair looked in the reflection of the Metal Dumpster.
This morning, kids back in school, it was time to get DUMPSTER DIVING. On my first stop, I got THIS Water Fall Dresser. ALL the drawers intact.
I also picked up this wicker hamper. It doesn’t smell, but my dog Keiki is giving it a thorough inspection. (probably cats lived in here;).
Inside the hamper I found some YARN! Maybe it will inspire me to pick up my love of Crochet again. (in my spare time…..)
I know you are thinking, she took PLATES??? As in, she will eat off of them? And they came from a Dumpster? My answer, you BETCHA! Hey, plates are expensive. These happen to perfectly match my pure white collection I already have going. My dishwasher sterilizes things, so no worry of contracting anything fatal. 
While I was picking up the plates, I was CALCULATING what else might be in there. Then I found this Calculator that works perfectly! If you have kids in middle school or above math, you need to stash calculators around your house. 
Enough hanging around the Dumpsters, I needed to get on with my day. I found one more perfect item. A plate rack for my new plates!! How amazing is that? And not at the same DUMPSTER!!! 
And not be outdone by all this cool stuff…..I found this bra!!! Fancy Schmancy. People throw out the darndest things. It must have really let someone down….
That’s it for Trashy Tuesday and Dumpster Diving. Until next week, keep your eyes on the sides of the road and your head in a Dumpster. 
Can’t wait to see what you do with that bra!
karen please oh please do not use the bra as ear warmers ha ha the dresser was a score for sure you lucky girl xx
LOL!!!!! The bra would have been AWESOME as ear warmers!
What a great looking old dresser. ( I want that :}) Oh, the possibilities are endless.
Those plate; they would be great made into cake stands.
Great ‘Anti-Gravity Device’ you have there. (the bra) :} Put on a hanger and use as a planter, or cut apart and make a ‘cup’ purse, make into pet ball toys. Use the cups to hold up cantaloupe, small pumpkins and other vegetables that you want to grow on a trellis.
Make a scented bra pouch by inserting herbs and then sewing up the sides.
No matter what you decide to do with it, you have support from all your friends here. :}
Colleen! I left the bra there! Shoot, the garbage man already took it away too. If I come across another one like it, I will definitely remember your tips, those are awesome! And I love the idea about the cake stand. I hadn’t even thought of that, but I have the perfect dumpster found little candleholders too! You are always so helpful!
I crack up laughing every time I read your posts! Too funny.
Thanks so much Vicki! I can’t talk about this kind of stuff with a straight face!
You are my hero. For real. How did you get that dresser out of a dumpster all by yourself? 🙂
You are always so sweet! Hmmm. Christy, I must be made of that super human strength that people get when they need to lift a car off of somebody. I get the biggest burst of adrenaline when there is something in a Dumpster I want, I will find a way to get it out and into my car. I try to keep up with some weight lifting too, it doesn’t hurt 😉

web site. Studying this information So i am happy to show that I have an incredibly just
right uncanny feeling I found out just what I needed. I such a lot without
a doubt will make certain to do not disregard this website and provides it a glance regularly.
I love trashy Tuesday. I shared your diving video with my 10 year old nieces. They just loved it. They commented that their mom would never let them dumpster dive but their cool aunt would.
Thanks for sharing with your nieces! I hope I don’t get in trouble with their mom. You are a good aunt!
You find the most… interesting things. That bra cracks me up!!
Super score on the COMPLETE dresser!

LOL! Shannon! I thought of you when I saw that thing on top of the Dumpster. I knew you would think that was funny. Definitely not something I “need”!
