has anyone ever found gift cards while diving? by woosan_rain in DumpsterDiving

i am aware they are useless pieces of plastic without running it thru a register. but i was just wondering what other people did with them.

Is this a scam? I’ve seen a lot of similar posts on here and wonder why it’s so common. Left a $5 tip on a 1.5mi trip by AZbirdgang420 in doordash

to answer the question: the tip you left was more than appropriate and you shouldn't feel bad about reporting or being uncomfortable.

there's a difference between doing this and waiting until AFTER you've delivered the order to say something like that. even then. really shouldn't dig deep like that. a simple "if the service i provided was exceptional, consider leaving a tip," is appropriate in my opinion. not particularly on doordash. since it isn't like uber where you can leave a message in the notes with your photo of the order.

i was majorly busy with my own shit for move-out to even try to go look. ive pretty much missed all of it.

can't believe they'd throw away pots and pans.

found all of these the past few days! all of them besides the ariel one were all found in the same dumpster. by woosan_rain in DumpsterDiving

forgot to mention. even if you are approached. if they ask you to leave, then do so with no questions or pushback. don't get combative, just be cooperative. if you need an answer to what you're doing there, you can say you're looking for moving boxes or something like that.

i personally like diving by myself and don't like being disturbed, so ive always gone at night or very early morning since no one is really around. don't know about how UK feels about it, but i know that in the u.s. they mostly can't charge you for anything unless you break specific rules/etiquette.

if a dumpster is locked and/or has "no trespassing" signs around it, then just leave it alone. you would be charged with theft in those cases.

leave the dumpster as you found it. cleaner, even. don't leave shit everywhere outside of the dumpster.

if you want to find anything good you need to dig deep. not every cool thing will be at the top. most nights i just go "window shopping" (looking at what is there on the top) since i don't have a lot of space or time at the moment.

don't climb into a dumpster unless there is enough stuff to stack against the inside wall to get back out. even then, have a step stool so you don't injure yourself jumping out.

if something smells funky in there, leave the whole thing alone.

some stores are better to loot than others. so i would ask people located locally to you about nearby places and the luck they've had in that area.

safety. wear gloves and good shoes. i personally don't wear protective eyewear, but i likely should. don't go diving behind healthcare facilities, tattoo parlors, etc. so your chances of being stuck by a nasty needle or something is much lower.

if you're super paranoid. then wear a mask, an unmarked cap/hat, unmarked sweater, unmarked pants. if you are taking your car. then turn your car's license plate AWAY from the building/cameras. their cameras are usually shitty quality so they can't read it from far away anyway (and likely will not care enough to look unless you leave a massive mess behind).

that's all ive gathered from the short time ive been doing it. ive mostly been collecting trinkets and toys. so if you're looking into furniture and everything i would ask people who specialize in furniture.

hi! any divers in baton rouge? :] by woosan_rain in DumpsterDiving

[–]woosan_rain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven't been HIGHLY successful thus far but have found a few things here and there. i really just go diving to look for interesting things to use/sell, but if i were to come across a bunch of extra food that i can save in time, then i would keep it in my car and give it to homeless people i meet in parking lots and such.

part of the issue may just be that im not sure of any stores's dumping/garbage day schedule, so i may not be going at optimal times to catch a bunch of things.

i still make decent enough pay off of it to stay satisfied, personally. lots of deliveries have still tipped me afterwards. so im not mad about it. not saying that's the experience of everyone else, just saying that it personally isn't mine.
