Reddit user HiFiMetal64 can thank their collection of electronics and even the place they live in to people who dumped their electronics and more.

“I run my towns transfer station and recycling center. The amount of perfectly good or even brand new stuff I see thrown out daily is absurd. I collect and restore antique radios so one of my personal favorites was a Thomas Edison phonograph from 1906.

I have a 55″ Samsung in my living room I got from work guy wanted a smart TV and just tossed the old one. I even have a decent size trailer, because some guy couldn’t be bothered to sell it. Also the money you save is amazing if you have mechanical and/or electrical knowledge.

I’ve never had to buy lawn mowers or snow blowers weed whackers, etc. even things like shovels garden tools hoses. Microwave dies? One will come in at work in a few days. It sounds horrible to say but when someone’s parent dies is the best cause they just bring all their stuff to the dump.”
