This is how I survive on a federal work study budget. Only problem I’ve ever run into is I feel awkward wearing clothes I found in the campus dumpsters on campus. I’m always paranoid the person who tossed my sweater will see me in it lol.

I think this is a really awesome concept. My sister used to ‘dumpster dive’ in downtown Charleston, SC in the Million dollar residential areas and found plenty of antiques, fixerup furniture and cd’s. I think eating out of the dumpster is a bit scary …hepatitis.

It’s not illegal if you know where to do it. As soon as you drag your garbage can out of your property and ready for the garbage men, anyone can pick through your trash. It’s not illegal, which is why it’s encouraged to shred important documents.

Larger bins that ARE on business properties, yeah, get permission. I would never eat food from the trash but at schools, a lot of cool stuff is left behind to include textbooks, posters, and so on. As long as you don’t make a mess, they shouldn’t mind.

You’re right on it being dangerous. If it’s not a dry bin where no deteriorating items are allowed, it’ll attract bugs, rats, and potential disease.

In the end, sift safely and do it smart. Garbage men do it all the time and bring home great stuff.
