I remember last year when the dumpster diving topic came up, and I feel it's necessary to post a few warnings here. #1 There are often wild animals in dumpsters scrounging for food, and you can be bitten, mice, rats, racoons, skunks and worse. #2 These dumpsters often contain broken glass,nails,rusted metal and sharp objects of all kinds, be careful. #3 If you're on private property or a construction site, taking from a dumpster can be considered theft. It's wise to get the owners permission first.
