not so much garbage, but back in university, i used to be a second hand shop (value village, salvation army, etc.) addict just for this reason. literally used to hit 3+ different shops every day on my way home from school, for about a year!
made some great scores. sold a few things on ebay, but was never in it for the money. more the fun of the find, and the score of having great stuff, cheap.
here’s a pic of my old studio showing some of the stuff. also have a huge collection of smaller things like tvs, record players, phones, kitchen appliances, etc.
I dont collect much anymore (no space, and the market is much more overpicked here), but always keep my eye out during garage sale season. a lot of the stuff though, im still using and mix it up with newer things to give my loft a unique vibe.
happy hunting!
