dumpster diving - one way of reusing what the earth gave

Dumpster diving.

What is dumpster diving?
Dumpster diving is the practise of diving into dumpsters to find usable items the original owner has found unusable.
The word ‘dumpster diving’ means, literally, to dive in a dumpster. The common image derived from this is a person leaping into a large trash bin, the best-known being produced under the brand “dumpster” in reality, it is more like fishing.
You can obtain produce and other goods this way, but take caution – make sure it’s been decontaminated first. You will never be able to obtain ‘new’ items this way as what most people throw are almost gone, or the food is near its use-by date.

Take precautions when dumpster diving – in some locations it is illegal.
