14. Taxidized Animals
Taxidermy is a hobby that stuffs dead animals and mounts them for personal decoration. The Smithsonian magazine reports that artists who use taxidermy to make a living are seeing a resurgence in the centuries-old practice.
Most garbage collectors have claimed that the discard pile includes a series of "crumbling" taxidermied requirements. On Reddit, one user said he knew a repairman who had discovered a taxidermy raccoon adorned with a taxidermy alligator in a kid's T-shirt.
