A Dumpster Diver From Bucks County
By William J. Hirst
A Dumpster Diver From Bucks County
By William J. Hirst
Yes, I am proud that I am a dumpster diver. It is a very reputable profession. It is also profitable. Inventory costs only in gas to collect tid-bits that I find. This story is how I got started in dumpster diving.I once put an add in the paper that said, "If it free its for me". I had to stop the add because I collected so much stuff. Adds do work. The problem with this add was it was not specific enough to target what I was looking for. Over time and years I then started to swap and barter the free stuff that I got for things I really wanted. I had hundreds of broken lawn mowers and hundreds of gallons of old unwanted paint. I had enough paint to dip a house if needed. Disposal now became an issue. Thus I came up with the idea of trading and barter to collect more items that I had immediate needs in projects that I was working on.. Some of my bartering buddies collected boat motors. They might have had fencing or posts. Bingo. A useful trade could be made. I also would just give away much of my surpluses because when you share and help others it is always returned in some fashion. I would sometimes get a call late in the night that dumpster might have 200 bags of fertilizer from a fellow dumpster diver who had no use for that amount of fertilizer. So sharing the loot is essential to successful Dumpster diving. You also never know when you will need help in uncovering buried loot in the bottom of well packed dumpsters. So working with others is helpful. You must keep in mind that there is more out there and don't worry about being greedy. You can't possibly get it all.
Now I did not invent this wheel but I had enough of them that it appeared I might have. So barter has become a means of swapping and exchanging my surpluses for other peoples surpluses. Since I am in the nursery business I also have plants that are surplus. I may plant 1000 trees expecting to need 1000 and find that I have 500 more than what I need. So offering these trees on the web for Barter has an effective means to move dormant inventory. Besides this is a great way to meet new customers. When they have surpluses and I can move their dormant stock, we both win.
Here is a sample add that I run on my web site seedlingsrus.com :

tear in my beer
I try not to keep alcohol in the house. If I have it, chances are I will drink it and that’s where we begin to have problems. Several months ago, I noticed that every time I came home from a long day and poured myself a glass of wine with the purpose of relaxing, without fail and within the hour I was crying. Things were all around more complicated then. Love was tricky, life was confusing and drinking alone became an invitation to a pity party. Things are decidedly less complicated now, so when I dropped my purse on the...
yes, i really did
I know, I know. I’m such a launch tease. But I swear it’s not my fault. I almost don’t dare tell you the new date for the Big Change, because it’s not likely you’ll believe me after all this crying wolf. Let’s just leave it at this: It’s like, falling in love. It’ll happen when you least expect it. There, don’t you feel better? I’m wearing a suit today, which means that something else big is up. Please to do the crossing of fingers. Fueled by anticipation of the something else big, I spent last night in a flurry of...

Sometimes people take me up on my offers to trade trees and shrubs for their products. One such person is Ralph. Ralph has a farm in Ohio and raises a variety of farm animals and draft horses. He asked if I would be interested in trading trees and plants for his pigs, a Boarder Collie puppy, or his sheep. Not baaaad I thought. Never really trusting myself with sheep, I opted for the puppy and some piglets. Here is what Ralph said after our trade.....
