Dumpster Diving Ettiquette

The Do's and Don'ts of Dumpster Diving

-DO wait until the store is closed and the employees have left.
-DO make sure you wear gloves or some kind of protective gear.
-DO have help to get IN and OUT of the dumpster.

-DO NOT dumpster dive after dark.
-DO NOT scare the shit out of employees as they attempt to throw out the garbage.
-DO NOT ask the employees to help you out of the dumpster.

An old man popped out of the dumpster tonight when I attempted to throw out the garbage.

You could hear my terrified scream 3 towns over, I'm certain.

I don't really know what he was after, about the only thing we put in the dumpster is physical garbage and broken down boxes, but there he was. What was even worse, he was unable to climb out on his own and had been stuck in there for a while.

After my initial terror had ceased, I ended up getting pretty pissed.

Pissed that I work for a company that could potentially put me in harms way. What if that had been an attacker?

I don't even want to think about how bad this situation could have been.

 I used to work at a Pizza joint, and I would actually go out and give away any leftovers so that they would not have to dumpster dive.

I think that, if I worked in the food industry, I would probably do the exact same thing.

 At one point in my life I was a professional dumpster diver. .. This guy sounds like an amateur. .. It's no fun when the cops get called.

He was an old guy, I don't even know how he managed to get in there. I can't imagine what he would have done if nobody had come out there.

 I would had scream too and probably hit him with the trash

I wonder what was he doing there. maybe he was looking for things. never know other people's situation.

I thought about that too, you can clearly see our dumpster is primarily cardboard. The company who owns us requires us to send any products that may get damaged out for recycling, we never actually throw any product into the dumpster.

 You should always post the hours
of operation for your dumpster buffet.
Using more than all the road!

Just be careful! You never know what could be in there. As in the case of the store I work for, we have a ton of broken glass thrown out daily.

 Long story short....don't go dumpster diving and scaring the crap out of people. Than goodness you are okay.
