    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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.
