So...have any of you been dumpster diving? Is it legal where you live? I've been thinking about doing this, but would like to do it legally so as not to get arrested. If so, what have you found? Where are the best places to go dumpster diving?

I live in an apartment complex and we have dumpsters located strategically around the housing blocks. I check all of the dumpsters at least twice a week, but the large dumpster that maintenance uses I check daily..I also peruse dumpsters about town when the opportunity arises. I've been doing...

So the housing development next door to where I work is in full swing. All week I've been saying that I have to get over there and see whats in the dumpsters. Theres about 10 of them, most in front of newly built or houses still being built. Went over today after work and was able to grab a...

Dumpster diving. Eww! Who would take something from THERE? The answer is, in the USA, people throw away lots of perfectly good stuff all the time. A bit of washing, ammonia and bleach, really, just as good as new. There are things i wont take from the trash, since i have a job. These...
