DUMPSTER DIVING
Fast Food Most big burger and pizza places
The Urban Gold Mine Location The best places to look for the big throw away their sludge when the shifts change,
There is nothing quite like discovering some-
thing of value for free. But finding things takes
practice, knowledge and determination. Dump-
ster diving is really a sport unto itself. To start, you
will need the following:
Clothing Wear boots, denim, gloves and
clothes that can get dirty and disgusting.
dumpster boxes is in industrial areas late at
night or early in the morning. When businesses
close they often throw things away that they
cannot take. Also look for debris around burned
out homes or desolate areas where something
has been recently torn down. Stay away from
restaurant stuff because there is nothing worse
than stepping into a hot bucket of frying fat.
Tools Bring a hammer, screwdrivers
(one of each), a knife and maybe a crow-
bar. If you are driving, a pick-up is best,
but if you don't have a license, a shop-
ping cart will do just fine.
thereby making the possible discovery of heat-
ed lard a worthwhile risk for the hungry. The
food is still good, only it is in the trash. So dig in.
The best thing to do with the burgers is ditch the
buns, reheat the meat and eat.
Hidden Treasures Copper, aluminum, glass
and cardboard are all commodities that can be
sold for a tidy profit at a redemption center.
All it takes to become a proficient dumpster.
diver is the will to do it. Besides, maybe getting
out in the later night air will do you some good.
Good luck and happy hunting. Oh yeah, get a
Tetanus shot, you may need it. -Bryan Gregory
