College move-in/move-out days are famous for treasures among the trash.

At the dumpster behind my place (shared by 3 complexes), I happened to notice a perfectly good bookshelf that had been discarded. Of course it was that 1960s avocado green, but in great shape otherwise. So I cleaned it up and put it in my closet for a shoe rack, where nobody would see the avocado green anyway! When I moved out in May, I promptly returned it to the dumpster where I found it, and I hope that someone else decided to recycle it too!

It really is a shame though, so many students just trash perfectly good stuff sometimes, just because they can't sell it or take it with!
