The Dumpster Diving Thread!

[JustChillin]

i did this and I found 2 cans of black rustos and like 2 more cream color rustos and then one white rusto (they were all almost full) I also found two small buckets of cream paint (hadnt been open) and some little mini spray cans of brown that were also full.

[H3TT1NG3R]

where di u dive?

[JustChillin]

Behind a CVS. But it wasnt in a dumpster. It was in side one of those huge blue metal crate looking thing that lots of people tag on. and a store or house might rent them when they are doing yard work. i dont know what thier called.

[sly45]

annybody know a good way to make lock picks (i know shape paper clip then heat to make stronger and how to make a tenshin wreanch)

[8732]

Take a big paper clip. Fold one side so its all the way out and straight. Then take pliers and fold the tip of it to make a right angle.

　Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them: Work, Family, Health, Friends, Spirit. And you re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed , marked, nicked , damaged or even shattered . They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

yeah i know a waitress at a local steak house and she says its a shame how much food they throw away, she hooks me up with prime rib, and even some alchohol when im lucky, makes for a nice barbecue, i know a local skateshop that also sells graff supplies, threw out probably 4 dozen cracked markols, and some dented montana golds, along with old ass skate vids, my freind also got one of last seasons nomis jackets just cause noone bought it, still had the price tag on it $210, and dont even get me started on donut shops http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/1/f/AAAADPMdn_AAAAAAAAHwBg.jpg

[THEGREATSOUTHERNTRENDKILL]

i got 36 16x20 canvases the other day. looks like mikes is throwing out their single brown lables.

[cx420ns]

i know a guy who got a freaking welder from canadian tire, the nly thing wrong with it was a broken knob.
my dad always dived in halifax, i got 4 or 5 bikes, a sweet denim jacket and all sorts of shit.
the wal mart is right down the road..... might have to take a lil trip down later.
round here we have wal mart, giant tiger, canadian tire, staples, shoppers drug mart, zellers... lots of good shit. i'm all exited at the prospect of free clothes or makeup [being a girl] and some sweet paint or markers.
i'm going to be looking for dumpsters everywhere now =p

[zennegen]

best thing i ever found dumpster diving (it was near a dumpster anyway, lol) was a black camo rusto can. had like 1 tag left in it, so i just burned it, haha. im fucking unlucky when it comes to this shit.

[letsgobombin]

Feel like I might find something when I go out, just went for a scout today and found a half full bottle of odour killer and about a tenth a bottle of a 2l bottle of muc-off. I know it's weak but it was only a scout and that was just what they left out in the open, just gotta hope they got some paint now.

[klic]

me and my friend tried our hand at dumpster diving last night. didnt get anything, just bags full of old drugs from pharmacys lol

[Obic]

Somewhat new to the the forums and its my first post but anyway. Went out today but I didnt find anything. A few weeks back I went to a few construction sites and found about 10 half empty cans of black and white. Today though I did see something I wanted to grab. I drove behind the Walmart near me and there was blue,yellow,and red bucket paint, there was about 10 buckets each color. I didnt have time to check them out to see if they were full but Im going back tomorrow.

[-Empty-Can-]

one time me and my friend found a toaster oven in a school dumpster. we smashed it:D

we would take trash and throw it everywhere so they locked the dumpster up now.

You can find lots o' lots of neat shit on garbage day.

[slim.571]

[massacreman]

this thread needs new life! i am going to dd soon since i got banned from couple of stores today, i usually stole food (im not poor but i never hav money on me) but now the cassier said: this is the last time youve "bought" anything from this shop, next time, the police will be waiting... shits fucked.

[bzerkyetii]

the bank took back the house
so they left alot of stuff and trashed the place

haul:
fluorescent orange spray paint
bright red tub of krylon paint
fire extinguisher (for shits and giggles)

theres more there
so im gonna go back later

[Stoked2PaintNY]

construction sites are the shit, industrial size cans of marking paint are there for the taking. altho there inverted cans, i can still use them for a quick dusty fill in

[lilbmxking]

alot of times ill dig through a construction site and make stuff to ride on or steal shovels to go somewhere and make dirt jumps.. always find a bunch of wood and shop lights that are too big to carry away

[cornholio31337]

:Duse ever tried shops with bakeries?? there fuckin sick. at the end of the day they throw out all the shit that dont get bought. we got 8 boxes of donuts and like 3 loaves of bread that werent stale :cool:

also check behind art colleges and shit. u normally find thinners and sprays. we got a box of spray. they threw it out cos one had popped everywhere :D

[sly45]

[4ENOD]

I was walking threw an alley couple weeks ago and i seen this big bottle and like what the fuck it so i walked up to it was some sort of Asian cooking oil 15% alcohol full unopened be hind a Chinese restaurant was gonna keep it but i gave it to a homeless person didn't wanna carry it with me around all-day he seemed pretty happy about it. =)

[lilbmxking]

i think its time to go to the stores and see if anywhere has anything new in stock.

and possibly hit up some allyways and see if im interested in anything and see what all i come up with at the end of the day. yes.

["rekt"]

I got a best buy, hobby lobby, menalrds, target, fleet farm, and a walmart all close together. I'm thinking that I'll find some paint or some electronics I could sell to buy some paint. Is it possible to go into the store and make sometihng look broken so that they throw it away?

[Phillip McDougall]

If you're going to do that, might as well rack it.

Not to mention they'll probably just mark it as open already, and sell it marked down.

[H3TT1NG3R]

found old polaroid film and sold it all easily for 200$ haha

[Msfyt]

Wicked thread
Yay for being resourceful
And really opening your eyes to what's going on around
Such as the fact that we are very spoiled people who waste way too much

[sk8er6]

hahaha, i found a working pc behind a dollar tree/empty rent space dumpster. it was sitting right on top of everything. i havent really been DD as of late either. i was back there because the empty rental space was throwing out a lot of lumber. apparently, the pc belonged to a gay neck bearded white guy from AZ who worked for a furniture store who also really likes black guys.

So Does Anyone Know?

[skets]

hard to find good stuff but it's free so. also when they lock it you can get wire cutters at home depo and you can cut through locks. the locked ones have the best they also recycle old cans that don't get bought but they keep it secret like in employee only areas and they get rid of them fast

[hit-man]

if any one lives in canada i recomend checking out princess auto about once a month they clear out all of the customer returnes, they just throw all the shit in a big bin out back. i got 2 generators one needed a spark plug and the other was a $4000 deisle one that needed a starter, chain saw, pressure washer both ran fine, a shit load of air tools that all worked, cut off saw, a shit load of hand tools we filled up 2 pickups with shit and 90 percent of it worked

[cream1]

i get all my paint for free cause the dump in my town has a paint secton in the salvage area

[-iTch-]

those who think dumpster diving is gross just need to man up, it's just another form of racking. I dumpster dive on an almost daily basis, i tag dumpsters, and at one shitty point in my life i lived in one. there is so much good stuff in them, it's unbelievable. Here's an incomplete list of things i have found in dumpsters/trash: paint, spraypaint, markers, bingo markers, paint markers, pizza, bagels, bread, donuts, knives, multitools, bike tubes/treads/chains/gears, brand new/used dvds, books, tapes, soda, beer, pot, stickers, candy, a bong, fabric, clothes, shoes/boots, wood, pens/pencils... i could go on and on. fact of the matter is that it's not as gross as people think, that is a common misconception. Do you honestly believe people are throwing out human shit? What do you think is in there, besides just old/wet remnants of other things that specific store commonly throws out? I've been eating out of dumpsters nearly every day since i was about 13 and i'm 19 now, never gotten sick once. I encourage everyone to dumpster dive, but what everyone should understand, as it has been said here before, is that it is a HIT AND MISS game. You could score a bunch of stuff or nothing. it depends on where and when. Also don't expect to find like brand new paint or stuff like that, things have to have a REASON to be in the trash, be it damaged, expired or they got a newer shipment of that product. Also, sometimes you find things that people (pedestrians/customers/homeless folks) throw out in dumpsters like drugs, perfectly good already-purchased products that they were unable to return and too lazy to find a use for it, ditched stolen products (which would be brand new) and etc. There are a LOT of different things you can find, in mediocre to pristine condition. As far as getting caught, it IS considered to be the companies property until the trash company picks it up, so typically they ARE in the right when they tell you to leave. In fact i know some kids that got fined and did some time for dumpstering too much stuff from a bitchy cops-calling clerk. It was considered theft. As long as you know what you're doing, don't FUCKING EVER MAKE A MESS unless you want to be kicked out, possibly trespassed, and cause that dumpster to be locked up and blown up. Most clerks are down with it, being that it keeps it out of landfills and gives use to it. Also there ARE ways to get into a locked dumpster, don't ever use a bolt cutter, it blows it up. Hit me up if you need any more advice, i know those big-green-treasurechests pretty well. peace and happy diving.

[jaerjaer831]

found a slice of pizza at the bottom of the mucky dumpster and gave it to somebody

[SoZoner]

Did you get chased by a cop and lost your mop? Need a new mop? You can get one with a screw top. No need to shop, just get up and drop into a dumpster behind a bingo hall. Nice Rhyming There Buddy.:cool:

You decided to live in a dumpster? I stopped reading after that sentence. I mean. Of all places you could live as a homeless person. You chose a dumpster.
You're obviously one of the brighter lads of our generation
either that, or you have mad crust street cred

[smokeitup]

i have never dumpster dived because i can afford to buy the things i need and i would lose respect for myself if i did. plus its illegal and hows that gonna look if u get busted searching through a bin? the pigs would laugh at you, plus anyone you told.

[Phillip McDougall]

Then don't rack paint either.

[Stuck]

that kids a joke... anyone who paints on the regulare knows its way to expensive to pay for that shit. Unless u have a good job or paint once in a while theres no way you can buy paint. besides i was taught if you buy ur paint your a toy. fuck buying paint

[smokeitup]

used to rack, prolly racked more cans then you too. plus u cant rack anymore here they put the paint in cages or keep them behind the counter.

[Stuck]

highly doubt that....i love playing whos the better theif

[ribcage]

dont look at it as theiving, look at it as borrowing and givin back to the economy... rack paint today creates jobs tomorrow... like the buff man and loss prevention homos

[smokeitup]

highly doubt that....i love playing whos the better theif

i used to be the king of thieves, what i would do is go to bunnings warehouse back in the day when the paint wasnt behind a cage. and put about 3 tins down my pants they would hold in place but when i walked out i had to suck my gut in so it wasnt noticable, then go to another cheap discount store and go in and out a few times never buying anything they were too busy serving other customers they didnt notice. also ive stolen a monitor from someones house when they werent there, was gonna steal their VCR and DVD as well but i couldnt carry it all. also got a huge pair of bolt cutters. haha its fun when u get away with it.

[my.favorite.addiction]

Dude,a cage is just another obstacle,not a fucking prison cell for paint. break it or have them open it for you.

And stealing shit from other peeps is fuckt in my humble opinion. Honor Among Thieves lil Mr. self proclaimed King of Thieves. We dont know their living situation,we dont know what they had to do to get their shit. A business doesnt matter so much though. They can afford that shit,they EXPECT people to steal from them.

But back on subject. I think this threads dope,definitely wanted to try this,will once I have time to,post my findings then.and Itchy,more props to you. Some people will talk mad shit,but if they havent had to sleep on the streets they dont fully grasp the mindstate. Ive only had to a few times and am extremely grateful,but I think it was an overall healthy experience for me.

[SmellsBad]

Just jumping in. I don't post here much, but this is my kind of thread. smokeitup, you sound like a fucking 13y/o little baby. The "king of thieves" doesn't rack 3 cans of paint at time. If you were true champ you'd push out carts. But that's not important. What's important is that you're a spoiled little brat that thinks re-use is a bad idea. Personally, I've been living on the streets for a good while. (Internet is from the library, fools) The trash can has been my best friend for a long time. Food, tools, toys, and you'd be surprised how useful cardboard is. Don't knock it, 'til you need it. You never know where you might end up.

But ok, from one street urchin to another, Phillip McDougall, dumpsters are a really shitty place to sleep. Not because of health issues (it's called a cardboard dumpster, folx), but because they get emptied. I've found that it's never a good idea to sleep in, behind, or near a dumpster unless it's abandoned or it's you last option. Nothing like waking up to being crushed!

Sorry for the long silly post. I'm a drinker!

[nah!]

also got a huge pair of bolt cutters..

ye man if you got boltcutters ur a pro thief man omg ur so dope i wish i had boltcutters then i would be PRO

[hasemler]

i knew a local homeless guy who would find slightly expired food, and old shipments of water and juices in the dumpsters. another mans trash IS in fact another man's treasure.
i worked at an arts and crafts store called michael's and they would have me stomp out of season merchandise so people couldn't loot it. shit made me sick. as to diving, i haven't tried it yet, but my mind's definitely open.

[HëRbN]

i got about 12 full buckets of assorted buckets paints. All different colors out of 1 dumpster last time and all i had to do was reach in, not jump in there n shit. if you got some time to kill or know good stores to look behind its amazing what you can find.

[twisties]

never dumpster dived before..I know a few that might turn up the goods but it just doesn't appeal to me but I have seen the results of doing it so i don't knock it.

[theEmenhiser]

Office Depot has some jam up dumpsters, too. I've scored lamps, dvd's, cd's, memory cards, office chairs, a printer, and a wireless mouse. A lot of times they cut the cord on electronics, but the other half of the cord is always in the dumpster and not hard to find. Just splice it and wrap it. Good to go.

[criscros18]

they might sound like hobos, but in the end of the day. they might have gotten some good FREE stuff, that they didnt have before. So i can see how it's economical, and usefull. but i dont do it...

[2mor]

id do it if there was something decent in there...but id disinfect it after just because i have terrible ocd...

[Phillip McDougall]

If you have terrible OCD, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't touch a dumpster anyway you fuckin loon

[BennyBoii]

me and a few mates where dicking a round and found and office chair at some discount store and rode it down a hill trashed it throw it around and it stayed in tack. I'm sitting in it right now :D

[-NiSe-]

I'd totally do this, ive got a paint shop right by my house too haha. Hope I score something

[Fang]

Any tips for diving at a construction site?

Go when there isn't anyone there. You're probably not going to find much beside empty cans of floor marking paint, lumber crayons, and inexpensive tools. All the expensive tools get locked up or go in their cars when they leave. Stay out of the dumpster at a construction site, you're most likely going to find nothing but trash. Dumpster dive behind places that you would imagine would have very little trash besides plastic and cardboard, and that's where you'll actually find things worth diving for.

i definately need to try this. never done it before but i have a question about dumpster diving. if i go into a store but too much of a baby to rack so,if i pick some spray paint of the shelves and throw them in the trash during the day would it be out in the dumpster later that night?at like a walmart or lowes

[Beko]

that idea sounds amazing!!!!:D im trying it!!!!!

[criscros18]

Probably not THAT night.... Well maybe. Depends on the size of the store. Unless the heard the cans rattling around in the bag.. You should try it, and post how that works out for you

[2mor]

so you live by the bible and are so self righteous...but yet youre advocating someone to steal, you really are some kind of fuckin idiot aint you criscros.

Dumster diving can pay off, but it depends on location and luck. Best things I've found: unused shirts ( packaged!) and unused cologne. Homie once found a gold ring ( in the fricking thrash). So yeah, have some luck.

i know people that work at block buster, they used to give him BOXES of dvds to throw out, he always brought them home. lol

2mor, Is dumpster diving stealing?? If hobos do it it's legal, but if writers do it it ain't?? I don't think that dumpster diving is illegal in any sence of the term... Iv found some pretty cool shit in the dumpster; never found any cans or anything but, I have found some electronics and stuff. As euro said, it's all about luck.

dumpster diving is illegal

[Kinger79]

hell ya, i agree. dumspter diving isnt a guranteed way to get you good shit, cept maybe smelling nasty and an infection or two. rack everything. and if you cant rack it at least try, if you fail... THEN you can shell out cash to pay for it.

one time the krogers by my house blew a circuit or something and their freezers broke. so they had to throw out all their frozen foods. im a vegan and i got 600 bucks worth of vegan meat substitutes for free. still frozen and just sitting in a big ass dumpster with nothing but frozen, still in the box, food. happy day.

dumpster diving is illegal

Yes, but it shouldn't be.

The person threw out whatever it was into a dumpster as trash.
That's, like, "I no longer want this. Here. Have it."

The only difference being is it's in a dumpster.

[Shawnibrion]

I've rescued many terrific items from dumpsters, but never food. If I came across edible food I would have no problem taking it home though.

[R3bel1995]

Yes, but it shouldn't be.

That's, like, "I no longer want this. Here. Have it."

The only difference being is it's in a dumpster. I totally agree!! Garbage cans are the salvation army of the streets.

[zachatnca]

some people may think this is stupid, but when my local graf store stopped sell the illadel inks and bleedthrough stuff i found 4 bottles of it in the trash with at least 20 of the bleedthrough addatives. they werent even in the trash, just in a box on the curb, luckily i was the first one to grab them.
