I like to trash pick and would do it more often if my wife let me. She often tells the story of driving behind a Wal-Mart and seeing an old man rooting around in a dumpster. She thought "How sad ..." and then recognized him as her Grandfather! He was digging out the large plastic frosting buckets tossed out by the bakery. They are quite handy ...

Hang out here for awhile -- it's fun (or it was a couple of years ago anyway):
