Ever since I can remember, my father and brother have been obsessed with dumpster diving. Over the years, they have found so many things inside these dumpsters. As a child, I got clothes, shoes, toys, and so much more, and at the time, I didn’t know where this stuff was coming from. It was literally Christmas every day in my house, and as long as I got a new surprise, I was always happy. Well, it has been well over 20 years since they have been dumpster diving and though my dad is no longer doing it as much as me occasionally, he would join him especially if my brother needed help with something. That happened last weekend when my brother found a sofa on the side of the road. He called my dad because he wanted this sofa so badly. It was a brown leather couch that was surprisingly in great condition. Aside from a few blemishes and some small cracks in the leather, the sofa was sturdy and perfectly fine. So, I understand why my brother wanted it so badly. He planned on reupholstering the sofa and keeping it for himself. Luckily, he has a friend who owns a reupholstering and weather repair business in town, so he was able to get the sofa over to his shop. Within a couple of days after the sofa was reupholstered, it looked like a brand new sofa. In fact, if I didn’t know that it was from a dumpster, I would have never guessed it. My brother got a brand new sofa and all he had to do was pay the cost for it to be reupholstered. I consider that a win for dumpster diving.
