Stumbled on this video, I can't believe the things that get thrown out. I wonder if an employee was trying to get the 100% discount and this guy scooped it first. Here's the video
Guy finds aquarium dumpster diving

I believe that aquarium was not thrown out as garbage someone was probably going to come back to get it. That looked like a perfect 40 breeder lfs normally send aquariums with cracks or defects back to the warehouse for credit.
That was my thought s too. There's no way Petco is throwing out perfect aquariums. Good for him though
I can tell you that a chain business from the shop warehouse to the dumpster.
I used to work in a cable company (i'm not list their name here) and I'm a manager of the supply warehouse. I constant saw technicians request a whole brand new cable box every 3 days (5 thousand foots box), I was curious how the heck he burn 5k cable in 3 days and most of my co-workers just ignore or try not to answer my question, 1 day I happened to go back and throw some stuff to the dumpster and I found a brand new cable box sitting there, I took it back and 30 minutes later a dude came to me and talk to me in private that I should put that box back in the dumpster for my own safety and they will treat it like it's not happen at all cause I'm new in there, It's like threaten warning if I keep stick my nose in those dumpsters.
Same for Digital Box shipment, usually the box manufacture cover around 10% of defect item or damage during shipment in a large shipment...and even if nothing damage the guy in charge of those still file damage report and took those out then those boxes magically disappeared later on and no one question about it. I guess someone can question about it but I kinda guess the questioner will get a bullet in the head down the road....

bwahaha I'd tell that dude to come find me, and walk out with the box myself lol. If some dude wants to roll into my house or catch me slippin' in public somewhere over some silly theft ring, he's gonna work real hard for that retribution.
hahaha peoples getting shot everyday back there, I don't want to get on that special waiting list
and it's not worth for me to deal with that crap (I even reported to upper management and my superior just tell me don't worry about it).ya for some reason I have zero inherent fear of that happening to me...lolhahaha peoples getting shot everyday back there, I don't want to get on that special waiting list
sometimes it's not worth your trouble right.hahaha peoples getting shot everyday back there, I don't want to get on that special waiting list
ya never know, they could be on their way right now...
I had about 1500 gallons of tanks in my house, and got over 1000 gallons of them free (or nearly free) from people disillusioned with the hobby.
