Dumpster Diving Anonymage 12/09/25 (Tue) 13:40:32 No.70176

Discussion about the lucrative, dangerous, and interesting hobby of Dumpster Diving.

High priority finds: Anything worth $$$, duh. Here's some examples:
-PC/Electronic equipment
-Sealed products, boardgames, clothing etc
-Food(sealed and safe)
-Anything you can use

Every day at my job I throw away several thousands of dollars of supermarket goods that are still good but we cannot legally sell them. Sometimes the seal is slightly broken and if anyone gets sick from that, that's a 6 or 7 digit number we get fined, so it's easier to avoid that altogether and claim insurances. Every single night people raid our dumpster. It makes sense.

I also used to use this method to survive decently while I was homeless.

Please post your thoughts and experiences

I'm not that great, I am just a hobbyist. The best things I've found have been PC parts/games etc, nothing super crazy but can sell these things for a few bucks online. Whilst I was homeless I would appreciate the SEALED bakery goods, you don't really care if it's slightly stale when you're starving. Also found a lot of medication which wasn't being properly thrown away, I never touched it though seems like a terrible idea.

Utmost caution is advised.

so between locked dumpsters and people video taping their dumpsters, how do you attempt this? I suppose if you're homeless you no longer care about being arrested.

Just a regular flat, it's humble and does the job, close to work as well so it suits my lifestyle well.

Just find the ones that are ideal. Never dealt with any police or guards so I'm not sure what would happen, I'd assume they would just move you along. Lots of places have dumpsters just behind the back and aren't locked or secured. I didn't ever break any locks or enter property I wasn't supposed to, I believe that's where the trouble can start

Apartments if you need thrift shop grade stuff. Just take a quick peek and see if anything neat is on top - walk out of the complex on foot so people just assume you live there as you walk away and snagged a wicker chair or PC or whatever.
