The show is probably staged, but there's a lot of decent stuff out there.
Before our city went to a single bin for trash the company would take nearly anything. And loads of great stuff would be on the curb.
Freight car mover- about a 15 foot long pry bar.
Small coal shovel.
Push type lawn edge trimmer - like the push mowers, but tiny and with only one wheel
Stained glass window.
Bicycle sized tire chain.- Showed it to a guy with a great collection of balloon tire bikes and he said he'd never even heard of it.
Plus a bunch of architectural salvage like window frames with the old wavy glass. I sold 30+ frames for $10 each. Not bad for stuff that was free.
All that was from within 3 blocks of my house.
So I wouldn't be at all surprised to find something decent in a storage locker.
