I’d like to reinforce “9. Dress for Success.” here’s what happens if you don’t wear thick clothes in the dumpster:

This happened like, 5 hours ago. The doctor says it’s not a hypo puncture. Horray! Buy/steal/salvage the costume. She’s right. Mine is going to be a Borg/Garbage Man hybrid with lots of red LEDs.

i’ve found stereos, computers, other working electronics… and

huge scores from williams sonoma displays… we found 3 waffle irons, industrial coffee makers, beautiful knives and hand tools, not to mention a huge box of fudge.

dumpster-diving is awesome… look up your local bulk trash day, a great day…

I’ve gone dumpster diving in NYC (not so much dumpstering though, it’s all nicely placed out on the street, and divided up into separate bags of breads, fruits and veggies (75% were totally edible), premade food (like sealed containers of yaki soba) and meats separately (some people took some for their dogs). It was a truly eye-opening experience to see HOW MUCH food is thrown away. It made me very, very ashamed (and also feel stupid for paying so much for food). I was out with the Freegans and they made a huge communal meal for a dozen people from the trash and it was GOOD!

I have no problem with this – you cook the food anyway! Food Not Bombs is another great org that feeds anybody/everybody who wants a hot meal to veggie meals made from free food.
