      @@stevesutter2562 that's a bit of a gray area. And subject to local laws recycling dumpsters both commercial and private are no nos . most states any garbage can for a residence that has been set by the roadway for collection is fair game. Most of the state's have a clause that it becomes public domain at that point and open to being go e through and the items are completely legal to take with you. While this is a boon for scrapers. It's not there to make it easy for them. rather it is a law they enacted to make it so the police do not have to get a warrant every time they want to search a garbage. Whether it's at a crime scene or if they are just suspicious of the people in a specific type. As far as retail store dumpsters. If the dumpster is enclosed in a gated area and the gate is closed it is best to leave it alone those get the police's dander up. They claim its breaking and entering. But if it's in the open and unlocked. Your usually ok. Just remember the golden rules . be quiet especially at night. Nobody wants your causing a huge amount of noise. Do not leave a mess when you leave. Thats one I got on others divers about a lot. I would actually carry a broom and shovel and stuff witg me and clean up any messes at dumpsters . even if I did not make it. It kept the businesses from looking to stop divers. If it's questionable leave it . I have found . it's an adventure.

    As a former security officer who had to politely told a few people that they couldn’t dumpster dive here. It’s not because of the owner of the property had a problem with someone who was emptying out a dumpster. It’s because if the dumpster diver got hurt the property owner could be liable for any injury and that’s the biggest reason why many companies don’t like people dumpster diving is because they don’t want to be sued in case of injury.

Also a quarter carrot diamond taped to a file card. Constantly found gold such as broken jewelry. Your doing good Mike. Lots of energy in you. Sorry about your dog. Not easy losing a friend. Many blessings.

      That's a bummer. My old boy is 16 and never had a problem until recently. Kidney failure, so I changed him to all raw chicken diet. His seizures went from every week to every other month. And the severity is lessening. So I hope to have him for a year or two more. We walk every day. I want to give him the best longest life I can. They mean so much to us when we have them, and after they pass. Fond memories, and loyal companions. They don't care about any of the things people do. You could be Quasimodo himself but a dog cares not. If you give them love and basic needs, you have a buddy for life. It's just a shame they don't live longer. But that me being selfish.

I would also add that many dumpster diving channels do not go the extra mile and "dive in". Each to their own, but you are not afraid of getting a bit dirty, and/or wet feet from the juicyness. Blessings to you and your family.

It must suck to be so miserable that you curse at someone trying to do a positive thing.

Not sure of breed but many think black lab, rottie and or some sheppard. As i do a little metal recycling and scavenging we decided to call him Scrapper. Hes already got the hearts of the family.

      Sorry Mike. Dog loss sucks. RIP Winston. A side note: i have had dogs 70 years, and the last 30 most have died of Cancer, tumors sonetimes the size of grapefruit. It did not used to be this way. Many dogs eat diets high in corn, and tgat corn is GMO material. We ge tg that too, now, and our Cancer rate is higher as well. Monsanto seems to be in the forefront of this change, and i would like to see an investigation of that. So many countries refuse to eat our foods now, because of the Cancer and disease tendencies increase.

      I have a Bodie of my own. He's my 5 pound Chihuahua service dog. He's 7 now and was attacked by a bigger dog and lost an eye but is just as spunky as ever. Don't need two eyes to detect seizures. He's my constant companion.

      @@sherrienale9974 overall regular. Malls tend to be less productive than strip mall. Stores. A large percentage of the chain stores that are in malls have a compactor so it crushes everything into a cube so people cannot go through their garbage. This is likely silly to anyone else but I periodically still check the bigger pet stores dumpsters. Like chow hound and such even though I no longer dumpster dive regularly. I have over the years gotten really good shelving to use in my garage and such . the steel shelves they display and store the 50 pound bags of dog food on type of shelves. They are handy when you want to keep bulky heavy stuff organized.

    RIP Weeny. You had a good innings. Reminds me how old my mothers poodle is. He was born in June 2007 and he's still here, but I don't think it'll be too long now. But he's a stubborn little bugger, so he might prove me wrong. He still gets around ok, but he can't see very well and he's either deaf or loves to ignore me. He's definitely a mummies boy. He never leaves her side when she is at home. I'll miss him when he goes, but it'll be harder on mum.
