Lori of Hooray for Freebates is back with more tips on how to find and salvage quality items from the trash. If you missed her previous tips, take a look at part I.

Watch for home renovations. Depending on what you’re looking for, you could get your hands on light fixtures, bath fixtures, or even the kitchen sink! We have two rental properties. My husband has scored us beautiful chandeliers, ceiling fans, hallway light fixtures, ceramic tiles, metal shelving, and more to be used at our rentals. Sometimes all they needed was a little tinkering and TLC.

Be safe while you’re scoping out other people’s trash. Even though it’s trash, some people might not appreciate your taking stuff out of it. If the owner happens to appear, be courteous and ask if they’d have a problem with your taking the item. You never know, they might have more inside that they’re willing to give you! My father in law was “caught” taking something out of the trash once. He struck up a conversation with the homeowner and told him what his plans for the item were. The homeowner went back into his house to give my FIL some additional parts and other items associated with the item, and my FIL got a great deal out of it! Also note that taking items from someone else’s trash could be illegal in some areas, so make sure you know what the statutes are where you live!

Be willing to use some elbow grease or spend a few dollars to make your “new” item perfect. We got three great toys for my son…all from the trash! They only needed a little scrubbing and minor work. We spent $13 on a new part for a Peg Perego John Deere motorized truck ($350 retail!), nothing on a Harley Davidson scooter ($80 retail!), and about 20 min of elbow grease & soap to clean up Mickey D’s ($50 retail).

Be sure your treasures are safe for use. Consider the reason the original owner was throwing out your new-found item. Replace any broken parts that could pose a threat to you or your kids’ safety. Especially watch out for kids/baby equipment that has been thrown out. It could be under a recall.

Happy Diving!
