He would go through his apartment dumpsters to find decent used furniture.

I have a couple floor lamps from the trash. Picked up two computers from the trash too. The one I found in the same pile that had the printer gave me an error beep when I turned it on. Turned out all that was wrong was a memory module was loose. Corrected that, it worked fine. Sold on eBay. Found another one, with a sabotaged hard drive. Installed an HD from my what-not box. The previous owner had upgraded it to Win 10, so, when I loaded Win 10 from a flash drive, the BIOS recognized and activated it. But now, the trash company "upgraded" everyone to a plastic bin, so now people's trash isn't out in the open, so I can't see and rescue perfectly good stuff from the landfill.
