best dumpster score..

i havent dumpsterd very long..but ivve found an all you can eat place that throws everything out at 6 pm. food every night. found a half a pack of smokes with like three grams of dro sitin on top of a trashcan at the university in denton. a box full of badass old school cartoon tapes, and a 40 o steel in one trashcan.
=]

i love this life of mine.
 
Last weekend I scored my biggest yet:
A case full of soy milk cartons, a case full of orange juice, 2 cases full of milk, a case full of yogurt, all organic (and we left at least as much behind).
A bag full of assorted candies and juice mixes, two kinds of stringable cheesesticks, about 4 cases of soda in cans, some cough drops, a couple boxes of kleenex, a bag of pecans, a bag of chips, juice crystals, and a few other items.

Alas, I've been finding local gold, as well as someone to go digging with (because it's always more fun).
 
filled a shoping cart with mad french cheeses in san diego last winter
and in winnipeg me and my friends get like 40 steakes and about the same in bacon packs its pritty ballin.
 
in terms of food... found six boxes of ready made mashed potatoes, and assorted soups behind a catering company off fowler behind taco bell in tampa, they are usually good every week for food or scrap metal... in terms of scrap metal for recycling... about 60 pounds of aluminum,three broken trombones, 5 pounds of cans and some bails of copper wire. all in all not too bad, I wish i had the luck to come across mucho cervasa along the way... most ive found is a twelve pack in a trash bin
 
a few years back in orange county, ca i was runnin around with this chick that had a burly man jeep and we drove by one of those huge industrial dumpsters that open like a door [that was in front of someones house oddly enough] during the day and looked inside from the top because the doors were locked and there were two bikes in there [i dont ride but she did], we came back that night and the doors were unlocked so we opened it and there was a full, untapped keg of guinness just SITTING there still ridiculously cold. took all of our warrior instincts to lift it up into the front seat of the jeep. another time in orange county i found an entire set-up for a 33mm nikon photography camera, different lenses and all fully functional. luckydiver ahaha. there's been a few times at party stores where i found BOXES AND BOXES of candy, stupid hats, severed heads, CELEBRATION SHADES, and messed up costumes. needless to say i had a blast.
 
I amost never dumpster dive but back in the 90's I scored a serious load one night. I was working for a dotcom grocery home delivery co & we would throw away tons of edible food daily. it occure dto me that this corporate waste may be interchangeable. It was. There wass a computer reseller that catered to small businesses & not the public, they would setup servers & whole sytems for offices etc. Well I got all thsi brand new microsoft & othe rsoftware bundles new in packaging & current, as well as some external storage devices & misc. comp hardware. I also scored a bunch of stepping motors & various other new electronic parts from another dumpster. All this stuff sold on ebay/craigslist for over $1,000 total. Pure dumb luck though & has never been repeateed.
 
Just last weekend, hitched to Anacortes WA couldn't help but look behind the local doughnut shop to find a dumpster full of donuts and snagged a glaze bag full probably about 15 lb.s of 1 day old donuts and muffins. Not stale or anything. Every doughnut from maple bars to blueberry muffins.
 
I once found a carhartt jacket, boots, and a travel pack (all in great condition) in a dumpster right next to another dumpster with pizza and half a space bag in it.
Someone fucked up.
 
Another Police Story, staring Jackie Chan. first time i watched it i was trashed on acid and i will never forget how funny i thought it was at the time, he ends up doing kong-fu in Lego land and falling in the bigger ball pit i ever seen
 
Little caesars pizza is usually my go to.. I've gotten 8 full pizzas and breadsticks haha dumpster pizzas da shit. Dunkin donuts is a nice spot for trash bags full of donuts/bagels/muffins too when they close
 
Most recent was in Martinsburg, WV nearly a full pizza still warm left in the trash bin downtown. Sack full of vegetables that were still great right below.
 
old library books from a skip outside the library, gay porn magazines from a newsagents bin and old fancy dress costumes from bin bags outside a costume hire place. none of these things are necessary for survival but they all made life a little bit better.
 
Got a whole green bin of auntie annes pretzels the other night that was awesome
