trash is treasured

Our renter works at the waste management center {aka:  the dump} and sometimes he brings stuff home.  Today he saved a big box of Star Wars Legos he spotted just before they were to be scooped into a bigger trash pile or a hole or where ever the trash gets scooped. The box was crunched but taped shut.  Inside were what appeared to be most of the pieces, unopened bags of pieces, instructions and stickers.  This huge ship has 1300+ pieces.  We got started on it last night and so far the only thing that is missing is the 7 Lego dudes that come with the set.  Our guess is that someone started to build it, stopped and put everything minus the lego guys back in the box and then the box got forgotten and eventually dumped.  We are so happy that Zane spotted it and brought it home.
