Go to any collage dorm at the end of the year and you should see all the stuff for the taking.

Over 30 years again I pick up a spool of 3/8" cable of about 150' long. I put hooks on both ends & used it when I was in a 4X4 club for pulling anybody out of some nasty holes that they thought they could make.

Not uncommon to find mowers, tillers, snowblower and such that have been scrapped cause they no longer work. Picked up a few over the years. Most just need a new plug or fuel line. One was just out of gas! My best one was a new Craftsman rider that was missing the hood. Guy told me they had jus bought it and was hauling it home when the hood flew off. They never took it home but took it to the landfill where I picked it up. Didn't look the prettiest but it worked good for the next 10 years or so. We have a standing joke between a few of us. One will call another and say "I'm going to the dump, need anything?"
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

No Dump picking in my town dump. 30 years ago yes....not now.

Always keep an eye out at the dump or just driving down the street on garbage day. Never know what you'll find!

Jerry found a ruger .357 magnum revolver in the middle of the road once. During the cycle rally at Sturgis.
We found a roll of copper once that brought 105.00 at the recyclers. Jerry was gonna leave it lay.

Lawyers ruined dump picking, but I can't drive down a country road without stopping at all the "informal" dumps. Some from 50/75 yrs ago or more have a real treasure trove of glass bottles.
