you do realize its illegal right?

Well just so you know that, i wanna add that if your going to to it dress up in rags, grow a shaggy beard and look like a hobo so they'll have mercy on you if you get caught

(BTW thats just a suggestion, i still have my dignity also)

EDIT: Ahh! I saw this website once entirely devoted to dumpster diving!!!
(if anyone knows what it was I'll give em a cookie)

No, it isn't. As soon as it hits the curb, it's public domain.

That's weird. Dumpster diving is frowned down upon in the USA? I live in the USA, and that's what I heard?

well, considering the dumpsters are on private property it could be considered trespassing and invasion of privacy, sure they could pull some other stuff up. Maybe vagrancy for dressing up like a bum

Don't you need a photo ID to get convicted of trespassing?

Yeah, but I think that law varies per state

As soon as it hits the curb, it's public domain.

Remember, the dumpsters for most stores are not on the street/sidewalk like they are for most homes. They are on the store's parking lot which is private property, so most forms of dumpster diving could both be trespassing and stealing, but most likely just maliscious mischief.

It's so weird

be a decent human and ask the manager if you could rumage the garbage supervised

oh yes he curb is public domain, however, if it is in designated containers, it is not public property
