My girlfriend wants to go dumpster diving...

[ChristineM]

Ah, a life of crime then

What's the bet he wants his RF buddies to bail him out ;-)

 

[Wildswanderer]

She is so much fun....she asked me..honey...have you ever tried dumpster diving,???

And I was like....yeahhhh uhmm why???

Her reply was I WANT US TO DO THAT TOGETHER (screening the words)

My reply...Ok...when and where

My 70 some years old Mom got caught dumpster diving a few years ago. It's not illegal I guess but she did say something about the expression on the cops face when an old lady came out of the dumpster!

Don't forget your scuba suit!

 

[Secret Chief]

Only if one get caught i think

Bonnie og Clyde eh?

 

[Wildswanderer]

Ehmmm its kind of not actually legal in Norway either......

That's kinda a dumb law. Don't steal what I've already thrown away!

 

[ChristineM]

Don't forget your scuba suit!

Padded and armoured of course

No chance. His brain's in his pants

Depends on the local laws. Most the time its considered discarded property and fair game so long as the dumpster isn't locked up or in a secured location.
Have fun. You can find all kinds of neat things (I've never bought a vacuum cleaner due to dumpster diving).

I got many clothes and some furniture while dumpster diving back in my college days.

Be careful of sharp things.

Normally i live a very safe life.

The little head in the pants are not active during dumpster diving then only the big nugget on the top of the body get active...

Make sure you aren't breaking any laws.

Finding open containers...and jump in to them to find things

Been there.
Done that.
Found much good stuff.

Good advice. Among other hazzards, people tend to throw used syringes in dumpsters.

 

[Revoltingest]

Make sure you aren't breaking any laws.

Cops often arrest people for doing perfectly legal
things, simply because someone (or the cop) doesn't
like it.
Typically it's not trespassing if no one is "trespassed",
ie, notified by sign or being told. "Loitering" is a legal
term with a precise definition, but few cops actually
know the law, & believe that it's simply anyone who
is in one place for more than a few seconds.

Yeah, yeah

 

[stvdv]

Are you sure that's really what she wants to do? It might some sort of test...

My thought too

 

[Heyo]

Neither is it in Germany. But many people do it and there are activists who want to make it legal.
It is also illegal to reuse any food people don't eat in a restaurant including giving it away. I know of one case where staff from a restaurant was indicted for packaging food for the convenience of dumpster divers.
