Thanks to all the people in the NOrth END who put out good working stuff for free to take. I have a complete kitchen of your garbage and I am raising my son and I didn’t have to spend any money on all that new stuff like blenders, kettles, dishes, all these little tools I needed to buy to make a great kitchen. Also, the toys, furniture, clothes, and books ect ect ect…that I couldn’t buy and there they were in the garbage. I had a run for like two weeks where there were things OUT SIDE my door…free stuff…Burts Bee Shampoo, mirrors, picture frames…a regular stream of things I needed and now we really have so much now I am giving away stuff…Great! I love everything and we are so grateful!!!! Yeah Garbage Fairies!!!

As long as you wash it thoroughly, more power to you! The in-and-out flow of students this time of year certainly makes for some excellent dumpster-diving / yard sale opportunities!
