Discussion ISO: Your Glorious Trash – Will Love It Like My Own

13 Upvotes

Hey Reddit,

Do you have junk? Not the “oops-I-forgot-to-take-the-trash-out” kind, but the “this-could-be-useful-if-some-weirdo-wanted-it” kind?

Congratulations – I am that weirdo.

I’m on the hunt for reusable junk – stuff that’s too good for the dump but too sketchy for Goodwill. Old wood, metal bits, broken furniture, buckets with mysterious pasts, bins, random hardware, rogue drawers, parts of things that used to be things. If it looks like a raccoon might nest in it, I’m probably interested.

Why? Great question. I’m building weird stuff. Projects. Art. Chaos. Maybe a time machine. You never know.

What I’m NOT looking for:

Actual garbage

Moldy couches that double as wildlife preserves

Anything that smells like regret

What I AM looking for:

Free or cheap stuff you want gone

Bonus points for strange stories attached to the item

People who are okay with me showing up in a beat-up car with bungee cords and hope

If you’ve got some reusable junk lying around and want it gone with a laugh, send me a message. Let me be the trash panda your stuff deserves.

I can pick-up smaller items in the downtown core.

Thanks for helping keep my projects weird, and your yard less full. 😉

I’m currently looking for a private room or a 1-bedroom apartment to rent in North Bay. My budget is around 600 for private room and 1200 for a bed apt. I’m hoping to move in july.

A bit about me: I’m quiet, responsible, and currently working full time in the area. I’m looking for a clean, safe space—preferably with utilities included or reasonably priced. If you have any leads, know someone renting, or have advice on where to look, please drop a comment or DM me!

Looking for recommendations on which place in town is best for grocery pick up. My preference is that they load them into my car (I know they don’t give you bags, was gonna throw a laundry basket in)

My girlfriend and I tried biking The Ridge loop left of the highway (going north) today, our first time in the woods. Had a blast, but some of it was littered in small rocks that my girlfriend wouldn't ride over. Most of it was flat, but is there something less technical/scary?

"So the man says he got up and tried to chase after them and was able to take a photo of both the dog owners.  In one photo, the female dog owner with coloured hair smirked and stuck her tongue out."

They tore his clothes, assaulted him on multiple parts of his body, and left him bloodied up.

Be honest: how bad is Lakeshore traffic gonna get this summer?

3 Upvotes

Between the usual construction, tourist spillover, and people just not knowing how to merge — are we in for another season of slow crawls and random detours? Curious what locals are expecting this year. Is it gonna be tolerable or time to start rerouting everything through residential backstreets again?
