Curb divin' you can almost always find something useful. Recently someone threw out 4-5 perfectly good tomato cages along with a roll of wire fencing. Talk about a find! You just never know. Also, walking home from school my daughters found a couple of large black & orange Halloween serving bowls, in perfect shape, set out. Being the sweeties they are, they snagged 'em for me. Others' trash is my treasure for sure.
And the good stuff folks throw away these days! While out...
