Dumpster Diving Tips & Techniques

	*Be Extremely careful around dumpsters. Lids can fall shut, Rats are a menace, Also be aware of other Divers in your vicinity as greed and envy are strong emotions*
	*Watch out for intentional contamination and sharp trash. Some people will bleach their food to prevent theft. Bottles, metal and general glass just hurt*.

	*A good long stick with a sharp end is really nice to poke at bags and reach way back into corners.*
	*Please avoid meat, eggs and dairy food. Everyone knows this, but as a reminder, the stuff gets really nasty really quick.*
	*If anyone in authority asks what you are doing, the safest thing is to say that you are looking for boxes*

Dumpster Diving Etiquette

	Be aware of what you are taking. You can run afoul of people if you take sensitive materials (e.g. office refuse with bank numbers). This in itself isn't bad, but is a potential problem if you get caught taking something you didn't mean to.
	Be aware of how much you are taking and how much you use. It's simple ethics: taking more than you can use and throwing it away takes it away from other potential users, some of whom may be far more dependent on Dumpster Diving treasures than you are.
	*Leave the dumpster looking better than you found it. Just a simple way to ensure that diving will remain a resource for all.*
