Free dumpster – strange looking, to say the least. Has two front openings . Please take a look and ask any questions. I assume that the larger lid opens as well as the smaller one shown, but it is VERY heavy so I haven’t tried to move any part of it. Hopefully there are some dumpster experts out there that will recognize the strange allure of this dumpster and come and get it. Has wheels.

Dumpster expert? I prefer “connoisseur.” I appreciate the many subtle distinctions between the various Dumpster-brand trash receptacles. From the first Dempster Brothers mobile garbage bins of the ‘30’s, to the Dempster Dinosaur trash truck of the ‘50’s, to the still-available Open Top Tilt Type container with T1 Bail, I enjoy the Dumpster in all its iterations. In my humble opinion, mankind’s finest inventions have been the wheel, the aqueduct, the cotton gin, and the Dumpster.*

So if anyone can understand the “allure” of your Dumpster, it’s me. And all I see is a rusty, graffiti’d, unwieldy pile o’metal – with scrap value at all time lows. But I want to help, so I’ve done a little brainstorming. Maybe you could start an “Extreme Hostel” and make this one of your rooms?

*That’s been my solid top four for years. Number five wavers between and microscope and waffle iron.

I HAVE ALOT STOFS LIKES BIG BAGS CLOSES ALL GOOD
NEW CLOSES TO TVS.

As far as I can tell from this post, we’re expected to go pick up someone’s trash. Between the black plastic bags and the language barrier, there’s really no reason to think there’s anything in there worth getting, but I admire the attempt at salesmanship. Those ALL CAPS almost have me convinced to check out the STOFS and the CLOSES. I mean, it’s only time and gas, right? Oooh, and self-respect. I keep forgetting that.
