Dumpster find of the year!

**jdubbya** · 05-05-2010,08:33 PM

Fellow forum member lewlew scored big at a local university dumpster a few months back. He found not one but three of these chandeliers. Other than some missing glass panels, they are in great shape and tailor made for a haunt scene. Lewlew offered two of them up to other haunters so I was glad to help him out! This will go perfectly in a scene I'm planning this year! It's really amazing what someone will throw in the trash!

I'll tell you that these things are HEAVY and I know lewlew had a heck of a time getting them out but like the mail man, neither rain nor snow nor dumpsters will keep a haunter from his task!
Thanks lewlew!

That is awesome! I have a friend who keeps telling me that college dumpsters are the place to look...he says those spoiled kids throw everything away at the end of the year because they don't want to haul it home.

I'm thinking these were in one of the older campus buildings that was being remodeled, but still, I can't believe they couldn't have donated them or taken them to Goodwill or something! What a waste but good for us!

What a find!

GREAT find! Unless someone comes up with a full animatronic out of Disney's dumpster, I think you've scored the best item from a dumpster dive this year.
