Someone dumped a bunch of baseball gear and trophies from an old children’s league in my neighborhood. A wild story—a man made a baseball field on top of an old landfill (not my forest, an actual landfill) and started his own league for the kids to have a place to play. The county shut it down for safety reasons after 2 seasons.
I moved last year. Maybe an acre of woods behind the house. Previous owner must have used it as a commercial construction dump site. I'm still pulling shit out of there til this day. Years of pulling left to come. Most humans are garbage people.
A lot of people caught up on how land ownership works. OP isn't claiming to own 100 acres of forest, but what else would you call it when you own the land and it's a ton of trees?
Oh man I love you Instagram, I’ve been following since I saw a post about the cauldron on Reddit when it happened. I have no idea why I love seeing everything about trash forest so much but I do.
The lower left used to be a car subwoofer box. The particle board disintegrated and all that was left is the amplifier, speaker, spring terminal, and the carpet that used to cover it. How much for the amp?
I have to say….. the way you display the items of you found is oddly satisfying. Pretty cool, you opened your own little time capsule. Nice post 👏

oh thank you! I clean up a little more every week and
Great composition. Put that crap on a canvas, add a longitude & latitude coordinate & sell it.
Yeah getting some Wes Anderson vibes
He got points for form but lost points for “tampering with evidence” according to the great state of Texas
Am I the only person worried about the umpire? Should we cross post to r/ unresolvedmysteries?
Ooo I figured out a big part of that mystery, actually.

You are over-encumbered
Im guessing thats a fake christmas tree branch?
Yes! And there are 2 Christmas ornaments in the photo, too.
Thank you. I was about to ask.
Is the toothbrush still for sale?
And if so…how much for that little cow/sheep dude?
[удалено]
It tickle my OCD
Surprised u only found 1 beer bottle, when I go camping I always see a pile of beer bottles that I clean up when I leave
Good on you! I usually do find more glass bottles. This spot seemed to be more about fast food containers, and 19 condiment packets (gasp)!
I have a theory that they used to have beer, but the beer was drunk by campers. And then the campers left them on the ground.
You found all that in a 5x5 square? DAMN
Might have been a .5 * 50 foot rectangle.
Yes, pretty sad
"No, man, I'm just saying... I'm saying if-if you own beachfront property, right, do you own, like, the sand and the water?"
This is the stuff I collect in Fallout games.
Almost looks like a modern art installment
Looks like you reverse engineered a meth lab.
Is that Taco Bell hot sauce packs?
At least one is! Most are duck sauce and soy sauce.
Those tins, bottom left? I know a guy who will give you 1 bottle cap for each one.
That’s crazy you found a catcher’s apron.
You think that’s bad! You wait till you start digging!
OH HI!!!! Fun to see you here too!! It’s me, your pal Spy.
Hook-Up Truck!!! You found me
Ummm

Post-apocalypse EDC
I am mildly interested in the little cow and pumpkin dude toys / figures
The pumpkin was part of string lights! And the cow is a Chick-fil-a toy.
[удалено]
Ha! That would be quite rude, but that's an artificial Christmas tree branch.
That’s a lot of sauce
I used to have one of those pumpkin man strands of lights as a kid. Well, my parents did lol but I usually did the Halloween decorations
He’s pretty adorable 🎃. I’m surprised I only found one!
I follow you on Instagram! happy to see you post here too! :)
Aww nice! 👋
There's more than 25 square feet in that picture.... did you just dig through a trash pile.
It wasn’t laying like this on the ground of course.
25 square feet? It’s size of big TV screen.
Yeah not a big area at all. I tape out roughly 5’ x 5’ and then share what I find in that square.
I moved last year. Maybe an acre of woods behind the house. Previous owner must have used it as a commercial construction dump site. I'm still pulling shit out of there til this day. Years of pulling left to come. Most humans are garbage people.

I don't mean to be pedantic, but this image is like 25 square feet
It wasn’t all spread out like this when I found it
Can probably throw the mild sauce in the sauce drawer still
Awesome possum you’re a good man Charlie Brown. It also looks like art. Thanks for sharing
Well thanks!
Looks like my inventory in the STALKER games
Did you find that in an area 25 square feet or 25ft squared? That photo looks to be about 25sq ft.
In a 5’ x 5’ square. Some stuff was buried
Look like a vendor from water world starring Kevin Costner.
Beautifull display
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Congratulations on the find!!!!
My OCD approves
So the hungry umpire went on a date with his thirsty speaker, when they were attacked by a haunted Christmas tree.
Ok I laughed 😆
This is so satisfying for some reason. Also, kudos on being an awesome human bean.
Put this on a canvas - this is an art piece.
Good on ya. Fuck litter bugs
That’s where I left my plastic spoon. Shit!
A little league catcher definitely died in those woods
Oh man I love you Instagram, I’ve been following since I saw a post about the cauldron on Reddit when it happened. I have no idea why I love seeing everything about trash forest so much but I do.
Oh thank you so much! People following along and rooting for me has made all the difference for my Trash Tuesday motivation. I appreciate it. 🙏
I wonder when that old chik-fil-a mascot is from. What a neat find.
“my forest” makes it seem like you’re the ancient sworn guardian of a sacred forest who tries to protect it from litter. an ent, maybe?
Ooooo I follow your Instagram, so cool to find you here too
Thank you!!!
This is loot you get from searching in rubbish bins in survival games lmfao
Your forest huh?
Yes indeed
you own the forest?
2 acres of woods yeah
The bottom left looks like a Picasso face or something
Ooo it does! I hadn't noticed that. It's a car stereo/amplifier. With the fabric from the dash or trunk still attached, I guess?
You should post this on
Oh cool… and gross.
I love this!! It’d be so cool if you put it on plywood and resin dipped it and hung it somewhere
What the fuck happened in that forest?
A bunch of filthy fucking apes moved into the area and destroyed all they could see. Pretty standard behavior.
How much for the hat?
Is that part of a fake Christmas tree???
yes exactly!
Gotta say this looks like my inventory box in DAYZ
arts and crafts time?
Yo legit I was first thinking "oh this is a fallout 4 cosplay props display"
He came from vault 111
[удалено]
Me? What should I do differently.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned
"this is what trash hunting 25 square feet of my forest gets you"
I want the cow !
Can I have the little pumpkin dude
Not pictured - Hepatitis /s
What country/ region ?
North Carolina, USA
You just know some one wiped their butt with that single sock. That was a sneaker-poop that snuck up suddenly while hiking.
How much for the one sock
Make me an offer
They say sometimes that umpires return to the forest that they were grown from to die. The circle of life.
Anything good?
I call dibs on the amplifier
That Xbox game case definitely had weed inside it at some point
Let’s talk about the baseball player. Should OP go search for rest of said player-? The sock too 🧦
Mildly infuriating in that small space.
Oh you found my sock! Message me and ill get you my address.
Must be an urban forest close to a bridge or hobo encampment.
No just a stretch of forest up against some peoples backyards.
Lemme have the eyeball lookin thing.
I see that OG Xbox game case. Any idea what game?
My bet is on need for speed carbon OR madden 09
Interesting that there's a store brand soda can from Texas in that mix.
I meant to google that! How interesting.
The condiment packages, tho.... what are they?
Mostly duck sauce and soy sauce
What no condoms?
Quit trashing your forest bro.
Good advice
Did... Someone drink the vegetable oil?
Always be knollin¡!
What are all those bank-note looking things towards the top left?
Empty sauce packets! Soy sauce, duck sauce mostly
Beautiful
my forest?! Like, you can’t own a forest, maaaan!
Xbox game was so retched that it had to be taken out to the forest and destroyed
The lower left used to be a car subwoofer box. The particle board disintegrated and all that was left is the amplifier, speaker, spring terminal, and the carpet that used to cover it. How much for the amp?
Make me an offer 😆

Is part of a tree considered trash in a forest?
When it’s an artificial Christmas tree, yes!
Looks like a starter pack
Looks like a homeless guys litter.
Neighboring houses dumped in the forest for decades. And that’s an artificial Christmas tree branch!
That a’int trash...thats treasure
This reminds me of Art Attack
It looks like the laid out trash is more than 5ftx5ft, no? Looks like you just found a pile of trash or you are in a landfill bruh.
5 feet by 5 feet, you were in a dump.
A friend had a dog that had been trained by previous owners that liked to gather cans and bottles in piles
Would you be open to having this photo syndicated on my journal's website?
Can you name everything? Please?
I want the little pumpkin guy why is he so precious
This is art. I love this picture.
You have you’re very own Forest?
Or… things you’d find in an old VW.
I’ve never seen trash look so good.
You own a forest? Must be nice
It'll be nicer when it's clean
Your forest is near a road
Just neighborhood streets I guess. Not directly bordering any road though.
How the hell does a DVD box land in a forest?
Someone chucks it there
Was chilling with the baseball catching gear
Its too bad people don't care about nature.
Yep people suck
It looks like you found most of a little league catcher.
I’m a little worried about the amount of kids stuff
"Your" forest?
Yes!
idk why but im mildly infuriated by the lay out lol
How much was the forest?
It came with a house I live in, but 170k.
[удалено]
You buy one!
Your forest?
Yeah!
People really used to just dump their shit outside dude. Up till very recently… and many still do.
