Not a dumpster but I already love aquariums and have been looking for a hexagon tank that wasn't overpriced. I found one today while walking my dogs on the side of the road! Took a different route than usual and it came with all the pieces. It's like it was destined to be mine.

I found a UFO they threw away. I'm currently traveling at light speed while writing this

My budget has limitations and priorities. Groceries are expensive and the little luxuries are out of the question. You know the car needs an oil change this week. Its not a dilema because I never jeopardize my car. I hit my honey hole tonight. I have 3 cases of chips. Lays,Pringles and Takis. 2 cases nuts. Cashews and pistachios. Case of oreos double stuff, rice krispie treats. 3 cases of Ritz different kinds. Wheat thins and some kind of vegetable seasoned. Sunflower seeds. Slim jim and other Jerkys. Case of microwave popcorn . Not sure if I left anything out. Now I dont typically buy junk food. But the nuts popcorn and slim jims I kept. All the other stuff I left on my neighbors porch. Out of everything ,I was happy for the triple A's enigizer bateries. My tv remote was low and of course i dont want to pay for good batteries and cheap ones are a waste. Life is good. Theres a pair of work gloves for diving. It was cold tonight. A random couple stopped when they saw me and handed off 2 bags of kids clothes. I told him I shared with anyone in need and that I had no shame for diving. Got a case of pineapples and pumpkins with Halloween stuff painted on them. They are small so maybe pie pumpkins. My other 80 yr old neighbor may want them for pies. Thanksgiving was blah but today was great. Keep on smiling.

Found about 12 of these in the dumpster today delicious.

im trying to find a dumpster diving buddy because i havent had any luck. kinda just started, if you're interested let me know and i can give you my socials or dm here :)

Just running errands, it was starting to drizzle. Got about eight boxes of Kraft mac & cheese for grandkids and homeless shelter. A bunch of candy. that’ll rot my nephew’s teeth out and all of his army buddies. some cold brew coffee for my spouse. And a Halloween decoration for me.

I think I’ll either donate them or eBay them. Idk. What do y’all think?

So far anytime I’ve come across something like this. I get really overwhelmed since I’m usually solo and don’t want to bring attention to myself, especially when it’s out in the open like this. Plus there’s also a lot of homeless people who camp out in this lot at night and make a horrible mess… I’m surprised they haven’t caged these up yet. Sucks cause you just know there’s good stuff in there…

So today, I was checking my normal route, and I get to this one dumpster that sometimes has decent stuff sometimes not, and there’s a guy sleeping in it. It freaked me out so much, and the dude woke up and started yelling at me in some other language im not sure what he said. But yeah. First time being seen dumpster diving by another person besides other dumpster divers.

I tried my luck at many dumpsters and found that 1 DG by me is my honey hole. So I stopped looking else where wasting precious gas.

I had on my list tampons for 1st of month when my money reloads, and I just gotten 3 brand new boxes of quality tampons & pads. And I'm incredibly thankful.

To be honest, I hate finding all the little Debbie cakes. I have garbage bags full and I don't want to put that in my body anymore as they make me sick and tired from the sugar/chemicals..

But finding products I need and can use really use makes me so incredibly thankful for this hobby this Reddit community opened me up to. ❤️

Who else is Dumpster Diving tonight!!??

Good Luck Everyone!! May your scores be big and your hauls be plentiful!!

was scouting and one large outdoor shopping center had this with lights on next to a pair of dumpsters… I’m wondering what these kinds of security people are allowed to do? Should I avoid all dumpsters in this shopping center or just the ones next to/in eyesight of this car? (there’s quite a few buildings that snake around and other dumpsters further away and around corners.)

Or does this indicate somethign I should avoid at all costs?

this is in california usa bay area

SCORE! First dive of the season, unplanned but need in some form or another!!
