Well.....
Now we know for sure it's you.
I'm a super duper white-boii. Yo.
No. Bye.
Don't be an ass hole.
This about sums it up. If you're interested, you should also look up how Food not Bombs manages to get much of its food. It's sad how much is wasted by large chain stores when they could easily donate what they're planning on tossing out.Wouldn't it technically be classed as theft even though it's been thrown out?
Depends on the state, but most states deem it Public Domain once an item of any value lands itself in a waste receptacle.
Now, that becomes null and void if you have to go onto private property (parking lots, fenced areas, etc...)
Most businesses won't MIND, however, if you dumpster dive, as long as you don't make a mess, and you don't cause a lot of drama.
HOWEVER, chains or locks around a dumpster means absolutely and unquestioningly, that NO, you cannot dumpster dive on this property and doing so will most likely land you in legal trouble.
Take it from a former for-profit dumpster diver.

There used to be a local supermarket that would give its unused product to homeless every 2 weeks or so. They stopped because homeless started swarming the place looking for free food and for some reason believed they were entitled to it.
I feel like if someone is dedicated enough to search through a dumpster for its contents, they've earned whatever they can find.
OP go for it unless a cop stops u
doing it does not make it illegal.
