On the Topic of Dumpster Diving

Have any of you had success with dumpster diving for free stuff?

Let's share stories and techniques for dumpster diving in this thread.

I once found a bicycle sticking out of a dumpster, and I cleaned it up and fixed it and drove it around for some time, and sold it later for a decent price.

I would love to hear your dumpster diving exploits and tips.

Yes,
All online,
Actually all my clients' computers are thrown out shit, which I fix. Mostly non-profit. You can find good stuff at electronic stores, and discount ones.

In your experience, do electronics stores (both large national stores and small mom-and-pop stores) lock their dumpsters at night?

In my region, anything trashed that's not in a locked container is fair game to claim for yourself, and I'm thinking of fishing around for spare parts for a new build.

In my region, people place damaged/not-working electronic equipment next to the dumpster, so either people pick it up and fix it or it is taken to dismantling/recycling.

Not well enough. Plus, lock picking is easy. It's always a nice idea to ask, esp. around closing time. You can maybe hook up a gig of reselling old material.

And what I meant with online, is that my stories are searchable. I won't rat myself out by posting them here.

That's how it should be done.

Are you a bunch of niggers!

Yes?

No, but how else is a NEET supposed to get stuff?

How does one dumpster dive for computers?

Try looking behind fast food joints, they're the best for finding electronics.
