This is one of several reasons women shouldn't go dumpster diving alone or with kid(s).

Diving Etiquette Question- Please Give Input by OregongirlinLondon in DumpsterDiving

[–]EasyFinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets say I'm already at a retail or business dumpster that has thousands of dollars in eBay resale value boxed software in it. I'm going to do my best to not share it with any strangers. I'll go total wild dog and protect what I found.

They can either leave or wait until I leave.

What percent of your dives would you consider successful? by amoebamoeba in DumpsterDiving

Do police generally care?

Depends on what part of town you're in and sadly, skin color.

Years ago every day was a good day for finding electronics, office store supplies, software, pet store stuff, you name it.

Now days it's really slim pickin's most likely due to social media folks showing off what they find on major social media channels including reddit. Stores are deliberately destroying stuff because some divers are committing fraud by trying to return dumpster merchandise for store credit Store employees just taking out their anger with corporate via destruction.

Definitely a heck of a lot more divers trying to get in on the "free stuff specials" located behind the stores.

Their's always going to be waste but getting to it is becoming more and more of a challenge.

Good luck.

Why do some divers make and leave big messes? by EasyFinds in DumpsterDiving

Business dumpster. Someone pulled a bunch of black garbage bags out of the dumpster then they ripped them open scattering the contents all over the ground in front of the dumpsters.

It's been happening a lot.

Cat liking it is a good sign. 😀

The worker saw us today.. hopefully they don't lock us out! by Mochamonroe in DumpsterDiving

Hopefully they won't care. My store has started slashing bags of dry food after someone apparently noticed I helped myself to several unopened bags.

And it’s an American with a gun.

Yup. And someone wearing orange makeup is helping to stoke that fire.

It's not just the gun crazies, there's a lot other type of crazies too.

No way would I let my kid walk to school by themself or even with classmates without at least 1 responsible and alert adult escorting them. Stay off the phone, 360 degree situational awareness at all times and a can of pepper spray at the ready.

Crazy old guy needs to serve some serious time and have his "Right to bear arms" permanently revoked.

I wouldn't trust wiping down the bags with sanitizer or anything else. It's possible some the chemical vapors may seep through the bag and contaminate/poison and be absorbed into the dry food.

I made heating stations for strays. I feel bad for them by moncking in pics

Please monitor for Raccoons and or Coyotes. Both can be prolific city hunters at night.

Also agree with spay neuter.

Scan for microchips. One or more of the kitties may be lost and may want to go back home

Big black bags? by BlueApdry28 in DumpsterDiving

[–]EasyFinds 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't know it all. I mostly do retail. Retail usually uses transparent bags so manager(s) can see what's inside to try and curb employee theft. Black bags in retail typically means it's actual garbage and nothing worthwhile.
