Also bring a step stool and duct tape! Tape allows you to seal bags up after you tear them open to check the contents— leaving them open could cause problems for employees. The step stool is to make it easier to climb out and give you somewhere to sit while you figure out what’s worth taking.

I tried diving in the rain the other night....... and slipped, resulting in some large and colorful bruises, just in time for Christmas

Now I gotta wear long sleeves, or else have to explain “I lost a fight with a dumpster”

New month... might have to go see what's what out there

Any Syracuse divers around who can offer pointers, or am I gonna have to be the trailblogger and find good spots by trial and error

Loooook, it's SO LITTLE. I'm going to be one of those girls who takes a straightener to the gym so that she leaves looking like her life is put together! I always assumed those girls were rich, but maybe we can all just get rich people things out of the trash, this is great 😭😱

Some of my most recent haul. All the clothing had already been totally destroyed, unfortunately, except one pair of leggings I'm going to try sewing up.

But I got some candies that had been opened or gone stale, a pair of sunglasses, a lot of hand sanitizer (I gave away 4 bottles before taking this) some new make up and… A TRAVEL HAIR STRAIGHTENER

Oh hey! Thanks for reblogging my dive post. I have a few more up, actually. Also, what store do you dive at to find all that good food and stuff? Last time I pulled food out a dumpster, it was at a whole foods and I got a whole bunch of energy bars and peanut butter. But you're getting good veggies, and a whole lot of good stuff! What's your secret?

I think you're thinking of something I reblogged from someone else! My food hauls have all been junk food, unfortunately I mainly dive at CVS and Stewart's Shop

this was the first time I remembered to bring a step stool, and boy let me tell you that is a GAME CHANGER

Here are a few pictures from some of my dumpster diving hauls

Those are some good hauls!

Dumpster dive finds today. I’m too tired to write out a list of items, cause I went thrift store and yard sale hunting. I’m sure you don’t want to see my items I’m going to sell there, so I won’t post that. But yeah, all those games are complete.

3 garbage bags of destroyed books. I haven't counted, but there's gotta be almost 100

[diving-in-nys]

Mmmm new month, know what that means?

Time to go out and get myself some newly expired food, that's what

if ur sense of morality is tied to legality then i can’t rly consider it a basis for evaluation sry :/

[uranian97]

sometimes things that are legal…. are worse

Dumpster diving is an art as well as a skill

[diving-in-nys]

12 bags of Almond Joys, 8 bags of Crisper Snickers, 5 bags of Peanut Butter Snickers, 20 bags of Kit-Kats, and a 6lb bag of EpsomSalt for soothing aches and pains

Did I mention that I work in a few hours? I got out of work after midnight, and I knew I had to be back in at 7am, but I'm nearly out of candy soooooo I went anyway

[diving-in-nys]

I couldn't get the lid closed It was closed when I arrived, but it was too big and heavy for me to get it shut. I even tried climbing the wall/tree behind the dumpster, but even when I was higher up I couldn't get enough leverage I'm worried if someone sees it's open they'll start locking it 😰😰😰 On the bright side, I got a decent amount of candy, and a bag of epsom bath salt
