Pretty good haul from the dump today! It was town's annual "anything goes" dumping day, and I was able to volunteer for this one. Snagged a lot of neat stuff before it got scrapped, including:

3x CRT televisions (including a Trinitron, all working)
A half dozen AXIS PTZ IP cameras
An IBM Model M keyboard
A pair of Motorola walkie talkies
A TP Link Archer A6 router NiB
A Macbook Air (A1932) with a busted screen
A working PS4 (no accessories though)
A NiB Onkyo 6 Disc CD changer
A top loading VCR

People with throw away *anything*, it's a real shame. But at least some of this will get used or passed on to folks who will use it!

@notthatdelta In my head I know people just have different contexts and I can't blame them… but my heart can't imagine throwing out any CRT or Model M. Surely you have *a* Smash player/keyboard nerd in your life! Just give it to them!

@CyrikCroc Right?? Of course you never know what folks are dealing with so I try to cut people some slack, but at the same time the thought processes that allow one to throw out *anything* without checking its value are completely alien to me.
