The post 18 Trash Day Rescues That Hit Like Lucky Strikes appeared first on Barnorama.

“Raccoon Rescue”

“Last night I was feeding homeless cat colonies (almost all cats have been TNRd) and happened to glance in the dumpster at one spot. Good thing I did! One of the juvenile raccoons had gotten in and couldn’t get out. I had JUST found an aluminum ladder being thrown away on someone’s lawn and was adding it to my next scrap run, so I put it into the dumpster. The poor little thing was so terrified it looked like it had tears in its eyes and started hiding its head like if it couldn’t see me it would be safe. The woman who runs the cat org sent a sweet fella who lives across the street to help so I could continue feeding, and he texted a few minutes later to say it got out. That’s the third animal rescue in just over 24 hours. I’m thankful I can be of service to the innocent.”

“Found This One Last Night”

“I found this beauty by the dumpster while walking my pooch last night. Almost 70% of my plants are from the dives. It’s kinda sad but i get free plants

She needs some help (has some pests, but I’m treating all my plants rn so might as well try to save her).

I feel so lucky.”

“I live in a complex and the last 10ish days of the month, the dumpsters become full. This morning I found a nice long skinny table for our entryway.

My particular building has local contractors who come in and out every couple of months. They always trash perfectly good stuff. And whilst I wonder why…..I’m also so, so grateful.

Not posted, but whoever threw this out, also threw out a bin full of clothes that were my partner’s size.”
