    I wouldn't say criminal cause it is trash after all. Just don't get caught. If some asshole store manager wanted to push it, you "could" get in trouble.

    Well I know the store managers where I dumpster dive (I'm one of their best customers) so I guess that makes it a little safer for me.
  • Heh...I remember one time dumpster diving proved beneficial... I was stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood (Missouri) for basic some years ago. Earlier that day, we were training on the rifle range, and we had food brought in for us (the company was about 120 strong, plus drill sergeants and the first sergeant). Apparently, we didn't eat all our food or anything, so some of the food (still in packaging, mind you) was thrown into garbage cans. It came to be about 8 or so in the evening, and we were on our hour's worth of personal time, and I saw the bread in the trash can (which was conveniently situated less than 10 feet from the always-open door to the always-manned drill sergeant's office o_O ). Five loaves (no fish, unfortunately)... So I got a buddy of mine (PVT Hampton), and we went for it. We ended up having every male soldier in the platoon in one of the back rooms of the barracks, and we were all eating bread. We had white bread, we had wheat bread, I think we even had some rye bread back there, too...and we didn't get caught. It was the best meal I ever ate...4 slices of wheat bread and a single slice of white. No meat was present, and the only drink was from a water fountain, but when you're in basic and you don't eat but maybe 20% of what you normally eat (I was eating closer to 50%, actually, as I was clearing my tray on most occasions).



    Edit: Oh, and congrats on the boxes, Batty...some darn good ones there image .
  • A buddy of mine used to work for the company that had thecontract to clean all the Sam's Club parking lots, he drove the street sweeper.  Anyway, I remember him getting, from the dumpster, a go cart, air conditioners, t.v.s, and tons of other electronics. 
    When I worked at the Home Depot, they used a trash compactor to keep people from dumpster diving.  You could not even imagine all the perfectly good merchadise we had to throw in there, everything that went on clearance and didn't sell.
