if you were to be looking inside of a sharps bin or behind a medical center, they usually go behind grocery stores and other kinds of retail stores.

Well, what else do you use toilet paper for, and then make “cinnamon” jokes? You kind of implied poo, on accident or on purpose.

3 pancho0022 January 14, 2010 at 6:06 pm

Didnt you read used TOILET PAPER rofl not poo. lol

4 marshall8787 January 14, 2010 at 6:41 pm

You throw your poo in the trash? Don’t you have a toilet man?

That’s not the only reason. Some public dumpsters will only get picked up once or twice a week, and if left unlocked, people will come and throw all their excess garbage in, filling it up beyond use.

Learn to lockpick. The only reason they lock them is so some retard comes along gets hurt and sues them.

This is Great! I built my 1st computer this way, my family couldn’t afford one. My mom cleans houses for rich people, they throw away so much good stuff. Diving the stores in town and gardening lets us save on food. With that money my Sis. and I go to college.

I make $1,000 a month on ebay dumpster diving.

I refurbished an old computer i found, actually runs pretty well, i made a rocking chair out of a old car seat, and some wood i found, my bike is from a dumpster, i just put new brakes on it, Today, we found brand-new carpet (remnants) that i cut out and put under bed frames and stuff. Dumpster diving is great recycling, fun to do, and a good activity to do with friends and family. – i’m going out tomorrow, with some friends, to Garelick, to see what they throw away. people, START DIVING!

Brainless I didn’t say I knocked on the dumpster with the dead person in it. I passed it cause I had a bad feeling. I was just giving a suggestion in case theres animals or sleeping people in the dumpster especially at night.

I’m sitting on a sweet free office chair I found on the curb up the street.

16 Sassafras072 January 14, 2010 at 11:56 pm

17 globalheart January 15, 2010 at 12:00 am

Ancient artform of resourcefulness!! :) Keep up the great recycling, and let the bafoonies keep on pitching!!! :)

18 pancho0022 January 15, 2010 at 12:36 am

Go thru my trash you will find many pieces of used toilet paper and its not cinnannom. Rofl

Btw you can find some pretty cool shit in trashes.
Search on craigslist for free shit and a bunch of other stuff people are giving out.

19 warrkrymez January 15, 2010 at 12:42 am

What did the dead body do when you knocked on the dumpster? Did you frighten it?

My coach is no used to anybody cuz I beat the fuck out of it without even trying. Its no use to anybody. I don’t even think a homeless man would dare sleep on it. I would be happy to give him a shipment box of chips I found or some 8,000 packs of My M&M’s I found after this Easter Sunday. I browse the web for recall,imperfection on box and could not find any what so ever. I video documented my find,posted it on my ch then ate some. I tasted no imperfection in them.

that woman’s lips with the gloves are asian.

22 mrtyles January 15, 2010 at 2:08 am

it’s not just for the thrill. it’s cheaper, and it doesn’t waste food. it also punishes profiteering food chains for wasting so much.

23 muttkat January 15, 2010 at 2:44 am

One good thing to do is knock on the dumpster before looking in it. I’ve found raccons,sleeping people,cats and mice and one time happened to pass a dumpster that had a dead body in it. Also those fishing gafts??? are great so you don’t have to touch the garbage and can move the stuff around. Plenty of rubber gloves and cleaner for hook and hands.

24 TravistyCH January 15, 2010 at 3:05 am

Try ‘Travisty’s Trashure Hunt” on for size. If that clip dosent shock the fuck out of you then I dont know what will.

25 Collinbrownie January 15, 2010 at 3:12 am
