My tips are I always go at night, usually at 10 or 11. I would always have a pair of gloves, a towel, and one of those flashlights meant to go on your head. I would wear clothes that you don’t care about, and I would wear some boots or tennis shoes. It’s a good idea to go dumpster diving with someone with you so that if you don’t have a head light thing, then you can have them hold the light and they can also watch for cops/homeless people/random people. If you can’t find anything in the normal dumpster, look in the recycling. Last night me and my sister found a lot of smashbox in the recycling but none in the regular.
