No I'm in school, but my family owns a garbage company so I grew up around it. Instead of daycare, my parents put me in the truck with some of the drivers haha. But most of the cool things we find come from repurposed factories or office buildings. Most of the construction companies couldn't be bothered with keeping the stuff for some reason. I think my favorite pick was when we got a dumpster full of candy. A company managed do damage the boxes that they ship their gum in so by law they had to throw it away. We set the dumpster down in the parking lot and all our workers took home boxes of rand gum and candy products. For about a year we had one of those promotional stands filled with gum and other stuff. It was a great pick haha. And then another good pick was when we found boxes of old playboy magazines. I think some of them are worth quite a bit.

I would love to watch a show like that, but I feel like there wouldn't be enough drama. Most of the business here is very friendly. Instead of competing like you would see elsewhere, the owners are all friends and help each other out. If one is too busy to handle a new customer, they will recommend someone who is able to help. Even when there a bad day and a truck breaks down, you can ask a friendly company to do you a favor and help out until you have that truck running again. Things could have changed since I havent been to work with my dad in a while, but I remember being amazing that he wasn't trying to destroy his competition.

Sorry for the late reply.
