I have gotten some of my best stuff from the trash ... One day I will never forget when I was doing my undergrad... the CS department had just gotten their own building (previously EE/CS shared a building) and they were cleaning house and moving out ... it was incredible; the gallery on each of the four floors of the building had just a long row of wheelie bins... they were each probably twice the size of your average shop garbage can ... and they were just piled high with old workstations, peripherals, parts, cables, software, books ... Long having lost my shame about garbage digging, LOL, I got almost first crack at it ... once they saw me doing it, the rest of the students realized that it was open season ... everyone went home happy with armloads of stuff ... much celebration was had ... it was great :O Fortunately the office where I was working part-time let me stash some stuff while I digested it into loads that I could carry on the bus :O
