Do you dumpster dive in your country?

I used to when I worked at safeway. But then I realized it was easier to just pretend I'm a woman. My state gives free food vouchers to mothers, but doesn't ask for tax documents, so my buddy pretended to be my daughter and I pretended to be his son.

I stopped after discovering that I could acquire sheet metal at qualities higher than the average dealer with less effort than it takes to mine sheet metal

yeah

I do yeah.
Started back in the late 90's when I was a kid.
The very first thing I scored was a big bundle of Aktuell Rapport which is a pornographic magazine. The local kiosk would throw out last months copies if they didn't sell.
These days I go to the huge recycling station plant outside the city and grab old bicycles, furniture and stuff that can easily be polished up and sold.

In the Netherlands if you return bottles or cans you get a small deposit back. Ever since they introduced that policy, you constantly have bums and foreign drug addicts opening every public garbage can here. Leaving waste on the ground.

I hate having to bring shit back and never do it, so it highly amuses me bums are frustrating this idiotic policy. And if I throw in a public bin I know some poor guy who isn't begging will get 15 or 25 cents, which is nice.

stores lock them nowadays

Same here, we have people searching every garbage can for cans and bottles.
But people generally return their own "pant" so I don't know how successful they are.

Well, I live in a crowded city with the biggest train station, the most students in the country and endless amount of day trip shoppers. So you have people checking the bins back to back and still finding new cans.
