The lids being back so close to the building is telling. Lazy people who constantly leave the lids open where they'll rest on something etc and could cause a problem get their dumpsters set back down like this. At least by me and other front load drivers I know.
I would have seen them most likely in my hopper camera but no way to know if they were or weren't cut right. At the transfer station there is a loader also, plus when I dump. Someone is going go have access to pulling the pack apart to look at it.
Even if it goes straight to the landfill.
But it's only 4 yards, could easily be scooped up and loaded into the semi trailer without anyone noticing or caring.
Point is, this guy has a bad habit of not closing his dumpster lids and now here he is.
The agents also talked to two men nearby who told them they had seen the dumpster full of weapons several times before.
One of the men said he had seen a store employee cutting the guns outside the store several days a week and that he told the employee he wanted them, not to shoot, but "to hang the firearms on his wall," according to the search warrant request. He was allowed to take two uncut guns and two magazines for them.

That ATF agent must have did a double take when a random guy just standing around said he had one of those guns at home. >

That's just the guy still lurking around several days later when the ATF showed up.  And who decided to be honest with them.
Theres no way to know how many other guns found new homes. >

Hmmm, so having more guns in society does make it easier for criminals to get guns >

People really think criminals are out there just using magic to make guns appear >

They only buy them at the evil person gun store and only if they promise to do evil with them. >

It’s part of the referral discount program. >

Even if he had cut them all the way through, that seems like a lot of perfectly fine steel to not be recycling. >

I cleaned out a datacenter last summer, 24 racks that used to hold HP rackmount servers. The servers were e-wasted, but the racks, the rails, and the fixtures were left behind. [No copper, for those wondering].
We loaded the racks and rails into a UHaul truck, brought them to the local recycler - who told us he wouldn't take it. Steel wasn't worth it. Drove it to the next place, got the same answer. Third place said they'd take it for disposal, but wouldn't pay anything since the value would barely cover the cost. We were just happy to get it offloaded at that point.
So yeah, even if you have a lot of steel, it's hit or miss on recycling, as places would rather deal with copper, aluminum, and other valuable metals. >

People will buy those racks if you put them on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. You lost out on some money. >

Considering the value of the time for whoever has to set up and manage that transaction, plus storage cost if that’s factor, it’s likely they didn’t miss out on any money, net. >

Would have been less money spent when compared to renting a uhaul and spending hours driving around to scrap yards. >

Possible. People on craigslist and FB tend to be flakes when it comes to buying stuff though. >

Either people flake or they'll try barter instead of paying cash. Apparently, people think Beats by Dre are a valid form of currency in my city >

Tried to sell a car on Craigslist and one offer I got was to swap for a kayak. >

You can find guns in the dumpsters in Borderlands >

"I don't care if there are homeless people that need them, these guns are expired and should be thrown away. If you don't throw them away, you're fired.' >

If someone eats these guns and gets sick we could get sued >

That's just a rumor, there's no evidence of anyone ever suing after getting sick from eating a free gun. Pretty sure there are even "Good Samaritan" laws to protect people who donate gun-food to charities. >

Bro lots of people die after eating their guns. >

Name one >

Ernest Hemingway. >

Kurt Cobain >

My father >

Once you open the packaging, you have to use them or they go bad >

Don't forget to refrigerate them or they go bad faster. >

I literally assumed this was an employee theft gone wrong from the title, but it turns out he just dumped 240 shotguns in a dumpster because that was easier than disposing of them in a safe way. No shit somebody found that weird and called authorities. 
Heck, it could have been three hundred computers and the people picking up the trash would still have questions, a ridiculous number of guns is just clueless. >

It would also be a good way to get guns to people under the table. "Hey buddy, you know that gun you were talking about? Check the back dumpster before 8am" >

From what I can see these guns are all the same very low quality and cheaply made garbage shotgun. Obviously it is not safe to dispose of them this way but I doubt he’s doing it to sneak them under the table to someone, would be more realistic to just give them away if you are so poorly supervised or care so little as the owner that you can get away with this. >

Presumably the issue is transfer to someone who is not allowed to own a gun, not profit >

What I meant is to just give them away under the table instead of trying to do it this way >

Not just a couple, but about 250 rifles and shotguns. >

If it’s not a shady drop off or sale, who tf disposes of used rifles like that >

You can chuck them in the trash. But you have to cut it into three pieces first >

If they're defective, shouldn't the manufacturer have a hand in getting them returned/properly disposed of? >

Cheap Turkish guns, so probably can’t send them back. >

Are the Turkish single shot break-actions still shit quality? Were they able to mess up even the simplest of firearms? They kind of look like a fun slug thrower. >

I think those are ok-ish. The guns in question are the terrible bullpup tactical shotguns they've been cranking out recently. >

I laugh at those. I can only imagine them being a bang/jam frustration piece of shit. >

My local store has some semi auto tube feed Turkish shotguns for 150$ new. Even those aren’t selling lol. >

The ATA Turkish shotgun ETRO the black/tan tactical is selling like hot cakes around my area. I've played around with one and after about 100 shells it seemed fine maybe it was just a golden egg and most are lemons? >

If I’m going for a cheaper pump, Stoger pump, mossberg 500, benelli pump. Around 400 down to 275 I’ve seen.
