  Dumpster diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dumpster diving, also called "dumpstering," or "trashing," is the practice of rummaging through trash, whether commercial or residential, to find useful free items that have been discarded.
Dumpstering can be something someone does on the spur of the moment if they see a useful item being thrown away, a conscious lifestyle choice as a part of freeganism, or a skill acquired by those who may not have many other options to obtain needed goods or food.
Because dumpsters are usually located on private property, dumpster diving is illegal in some parts of the United States, though in many places the relevant laws do not seem to be very vigorously enforced.
