Shoo away those pesky garden junkers!!

12 years ago

This sign hung above the dumpster at a small thrift store in Covina, CA for a very long time. The store closed last week and I had to have it. It cost $5, a great deal, and is hanging on a shed in my side yard. So, you ask, was the sign successful at keeping anyone out of the dumpster? Fat chance, lol. Linda

Funny, I have thought of hitting the dumpsters behind thrift shops for broken dishes and pottery (since they won't just sell a box full to me) but never worked up the nerve. Never saw any signs though.
