I've gone dumpster diving before. Gotten some designer clothes with tags, perfect condition solid wood furniture, brand new toys for kiddo. No shame.
got itand showed up, answered first round, other guy never answered and I got kicked out....yeah I get a buck for showing up, but it's still a pisser
I had a Walmart open up across the street and it had an open dumpster and I just couldn't resist sneaking in there at about 2 a.m. in the morning and seeing what I could find. Too bad it was one of those Walmarts they closed down and pissed everybody off a couple years back.

Thats what happened to me except they couldn't even match me with anyone.
hope springs eternal...I just looked at my reminders and saw that I still had one set for Tuesdays for Zoltars
There used to be a dollar general that had a huge open dumpster behind it where they'd throw their discontinued items in once a month. I 100% hit that up every month.
Isn't a lot of stuff on Amazon 3rd party? There are some direct sellers but there's a lot of co-mingled inventory.
One of the retailers I worked at didn't allow us to just throw merchandise in the trash. We either had to send it back to the place it came from or we had to put it in the trash compactor, have three witnesses, and fill out a form stating that we destroyed the merchandise. It used to make me so mad because I felt like it was a huge waste. It would have been better to donate the stuff, but I think that was part of the agreement with the manufactures.

I have a Dollar General right now about 600 feet away from me that has an open dumpster, but I haven't hit it in years and it was never even near as exciting as a open Walmart dumpster. I was actually shocked at what Walmart would throw away, I can see why they keep almost all of their dumpster is under lock and key.
Shit like that pisses me off. I used to work at the customer service desk at walmart. The amount of perfectly good food trashed was infuriating. Here I was eating once a day because I couldn't afford groceries and all of this perfectly good food was literally being thrown in the trash. It was depressing.

Could be the reason for some places to do that, but I have mostly found that is it the managers of the store that set the policy on the dumpsters.
Yea, it gets to me to, but I know someone who owned a Dunkin donuts, and tried to donate the food. She gave instructions for how long to keep it but the place they donated to kept them longer than they were supposed to, people got sick, and she was sued so as far as food goes I understand why they have to trash so much of it. For other things though I think they should definitely be donated.
