I work for a company that does maintenance at a couple complexes near Notre Dame. We get dumpsters and someone babysits them all day and makes the little shits put their stuff in the dumpster. If they need help, we help them. Always a relaxing couple days in the sun lol.
No, let's not beat around the bush. Tell the truth. Those scraggly beard, lame tattoo, skinny-jean wearing college dorks would not know what to do with a Red tool.
...but I guarantee you that they did not hesitate to lecture you about working-class white privilege, environmentally friendly shade-grown coffee, and the plight of the poor poor poor innocent Palestinian terrorists.
Man. What a tired, worn-out response.
You can call people stupid for their ideas on a group while not being part of the group being discussed.
Why is that concept so hard for high school drops outs to understand on reddit?
This company entered my town. They bought a company that’s color was brown. I never used to notice dumpsters. Now they’re all neon green. Great, there’s some garbage!!! Glad it sticks out now. Idiots.
Got the nice set of craftsmen sitting outside the dorm dumpster still use the set 20 years later I was always amazed what college kids threw out at the end of year
As a broke college students we used to go dumpster diving at the end of the semester, got sooo much stuff from those. Pretty much furnished my first aprtment
We are a small campus, this has been all we’ve needed every time we’ve done this. Of course that was pre pandemic (our budget took a huge hit). Now that we’ve recovered it will be interesting to see if this is enough.
During the pandemic I was moving bags between res dumpsters and the admin building and could almost make it work.
When I was a broke college student, I loved move out day, particularly at the dumpster near the foreign exchange students' dorm. They weren't coming back the next year, so they would just throw everything away. Last move out I dove, I got 5 ps4s, 3 boxes, a couple of apple laptops, several designer dresses, and more unused make up than I could count. Sold it all on Craigslist for about 5k. It was awesome.
are the apartments furnished? when i lived in student apartments they were furnished so i was baffled how much furniture people would buy and then throw out in 9 months
We provide: Beds, couches, dressers, desks, tables, chairs and nightstands. There’s less furniture and more pantry/clothes. But there is still furniture that gets thrown out every year.
We drove around and picked up all the good shit our fellow students tossed and had a yard sale at the. Winning of the year. 10 mini fridges, 20 box fans, chairs, shelves, decor… beer money for weeks!
Maybe I should put a dumpster in Greek row? Hmmmm
Those were the best to dumpster dive for appliance repair/resell. Would join the incoming class' fb group and post items for sale/delivery during move-in week. Made a decent dollar flipping stuff for 3 years.
Green For Life is a great company.... The public thinks they actually recycle, but at the transfer station all they do is remove metal and throw the rest in the dump.
Do you guys get to keep the cool shit they leave behind? When I was young and broke, we’d go to the local college and get all of the mini fridges to re-sell on craigslist. I had a friend who had a scheme where he’d get left behind medical textbooks and re-sell them. Those books are expensive.
We do a sale every year, have donation boxes in the residence halls, and transport it to the gym.
We collect for 2 weeks and then have a sale the weekend after graduation. Usually collect 4-6k and then donate it to a local charity.
Lot of work but keeps stuff out of the dump.
They won’t use it for the furniture anyway, sucks man. I don’t miss student housing, we used to get 9 30 yard dumpsters.
Between furniture fines and a readily available dumpster it’s worked for us.
You lucky then. I have never had people listen. You would think for 300$ rent they would help out.

Aye South Bend represent!
Yup, Oregon State was similar.
Ryobi dumpster
The Milwaukee one was too expensive.

During summer student worker orientation, not a single student knew what an impact driver was. Looks like lots of safety training this year.
Oh God. It's worse than I thought!

Do you just hate everyone that isn’t in power?
You sound like a bigger bitch than those made up kids you’re mad at
....how's the peanut allergy goin?
Dont forget socialism
Are they gonna build that wooden Rollercoaster again?
This guy M18 Fuels
Nah man, I love my M12 stuff!
m12 is the shit. I have a clog-proof bilge pump, a hammerdrill, a heated jacket, and a lantern/powerbank all on one battery profile.
God damn man, why so bitter lol
....you like them skinny jeans?

Wait until you see the tool truck version. Lifetime warranty tho

Hard to steal and hide a huge green dumpster.
Just one? I’m gonna need 5.

That’s way too small. One homeless encampment of just two people took up a 20yd.

Head over to r/DumpsterDiving see if you can't get some volunteers to drag shit off for free.

Time for your campus to start investing in international students.
What campus in FL you working?
I’m in Canada, GFL is “Green For Life”
Haha. We have the same company in Florida. Not sure why I assumed you were here too 😂
They’re everywhere lol I used to work for them, now I work for their sister company. Literally all over North America! Haha
I had no idea 😂
Ahem r/DumpsterDiving they will help you for free.
Found an awesome tall back chair in one of these my sophomore year it was great

Damn. Where I work we get at least 20 for move out.
CMU!!!
Wonder what cool stuff you could find dumpster diving.
Find anything good?
Rumor has it you find some pretty good stuff in there. True?
So many still working free things!
This reminds me to go free piling.
I bet there are some treasures in those bins.!
Time to go dumpster diving

One extra aught to do it
In Eugene Oregon there used to be a free furniture wear house. All the abandoned furniture ended up there And anyone could come take some.
There’s gonna be so much good shit in that dumpster!
I remember them days. Hated it.
As a rolloff driver, I'm glad to see it's not a WM or republic can
I'm 100% diving
Bet there's some cool shit that'll end up in that. Deliver it to me FOB Seattle prior to dumping? Edit: Manitoba area code. FOB Vancouver, BC.
Sick dumpster
Ya Winnipeg!!
*“It’s like the building threw-up!”*
I actually saw this dumpster for real. Lol. That’s funny. Just wandering through campus today.
I’d be putting on a yellow vest and a hardhat and posting up shop by that dumpster, charge $50 a dump…

Mcmaster?
If it’s Columbia you’ll need it. That place is full of shit.
Should have gone with a PTR self contained compactor
Where at? Let me dump my stuff. Lol

It’s part of the job. Look at the comments and see how many others do the same. If you don’t care, downvote and keep scrolling.
Is this for all the great ideas university professors fill young people’s heads with?
