Do they just have a pile outback, like some granite countertop places do?

Darryl,

Good for you! Don’t you just love getting someone else’s “trash” like this!

I have found similar treasure troves and was very appreciative for it.

I have a WW shop up the street from me..but they charge for the cut offs…but still, it’s a good deal. Not as good a deal as free, but….

Nice find. I often go to my local cabinet shop and dive in their dumpster for wood. people look at me like im crazy but the free wood is worth it. Alder, cherry, walnut, mahogany and other species I dont know the name of. If I get there early enough the people who work there will bring cut offs and damaged wood out of the shop and load it in the car for me.

Good job Darryl. I bet you will be making a lot of projects this year. Do I see those Christmas gifts stacking up there?

Nice! That’s why I never throw anything away, but appreciate those that do!

I used to stop at a cabinet shop in New jersey. He told me that the trash man came on Thursday and they always cleaned the shop on Wed and threw out some nice stuff. He said he didn’t have any problems with me dumpster diving.
