Diamond rings
“We had a woman in New York City mistakenly toss her diamond ring into the trash.

Thankfully, they did!” explains Sarber.

Brand new electronics
“My friend’s dad was a garbage man. He would drive around to all the businesses like Walmart, Best Buy, etc, to pick up the big dumpsters out back every evening. He always found the coolest stuff thrown away! Mostly electronics like televisions and laptops. His dad would sell most of the stuff he found on eBay. My friend had a Sony Dream System [an entertainment system set with speakers and a DVD/CD player] in his room that his dad found in the garbage.”
