With COVID to contend with, going through a dumpster sitting inside the security fence at a storage company where I have a storage bay has been limited. But over the past 8 months, I have found all these things usually toward the end of a month as they emptied and left their monthly cost burden.
The rolling Sears' tool cabinet apparently went in and came out the side sliding door, less the removable wooden work top, as it cleared the dumpster's opening by less than 1/4" of an inch... ;>) All the drawers slide out and in smoothly.
A box of mother board computer chips; some still sealed in their plastic and foam padded boxes. They may be old collectible parts and/or recycled for the small amounts of gold.
The small Senco "Hot Dog" air compressor and the matching finish nailer is still sold as a combo on Amazon for about $200. Motor I.D. tag said it was made in 2007, but works fine and only takes less than 3 minutes to fill-up and cutoff at 110lbs of tank pressure. Inside the large cardboard box was 3 yellow self coiling plastic air hoses, several pair of male and female brass air hose connectors, and assorted tire stem air fillers and air nozzle heads.
Along with retrieving a "Repop" of an old piano stool chair, it is scary to find envelopes of old bills and even discarded credit cards. I found an unopened Christmas card from 2018. Inside a note from "Grandma and Grandpa" and a $20 dollar bill!
