    No particular day. Try different days, until you hit the jackpot! It's going to be a hit and miss thing. If you hit the jackpot on Thursday, next time it may be on a Saturday. You never know.
    Good luck!

    One man's trash is another man's treasure, so yes it's legal. I however dive for a different gold, electronics. I usually come up empty but my school throws out a fair amount of computers, although ever since me and a friend started a program where we fix the computers and give them to the needy, I have come up dry for months. I did acquire some old video game systems from a friend on vacation, so I got something.

    ...the Sasquatch, having roamed the countryside during the warm season utilizing the collected cases now finds his supplies dwindling. As the weather begins to change, he will instinctively move to expand his territory, peering into dumpsters that normally would go unchecked in an effort to fortify his supplies before the impending winter months. In this way he helps guarantee he will not go without during months when hunting is more perilous and supplies scarce.

    RippDogg- The SasQuatch Wanders the wastelands of Dumpsterdom! Howling and Growling and giving passersby the GASFACE!!!! It's the rainy season ! And even though SasQuatch are Powerful Swimmers ! The Rain which has Turned Dumpsters into swimming pools ! Actually more like Minute Cesspools of Rancid Fast-Food waste ! , Moldy piles of wet Quicksand -like Cardboard and Strange metal contraptions which look like Display Racks but are Merely very Poorly Disguised SasQuatch Traps ! Keeps the Valiant sQuatch !!!!!!!!!!! From Finding More of His Beloved DVD cases ! Including The Holy Grail like Booger Green Double cases!!! Something To Do with the Physics of Displacement,Surface Tension !and the Fact that Not having enough water in the dumpster To support his Incredible Bulk!! he sinks Stone-like to the Bottom displacing all the water and becoming mired in the Sargaso like moldly carboard and Rancid Fast Food waste ! & the occasional sQuatch trap! But Fear Not O' Intrepid RippDogg!!! and fellow Denizens of The Dumpster!!!! Because The SasQuatch is a Quite intelligent Creature !! & Handsome & Modest Too !!! ( IMHO anyway ) And Using that Intelligence He has Thusfar avoided the Pittfalls of capture and The Pit Bulls OF MichaeL Vic !!!!!!!!!!!!. And though he still hunts cases { Especially the Booger Green ones } Spends Much of his Time Organizing the Supply he hath previously collected into Storage Totes!, Surfing the web !! sQuatches have High speed internet! Burning recently Bought or Scavenged DVD's and Printing DVD case Covers !!! and in General Trying To A. Keep She-sQuatch happy !!! and yet simultaneously stay just Out of Claw-reach !!!!!!! All the while Updating his AD Profile To Annoy , Amuse & Irritate Both Friends and enemies alike !!!!!!!!!!. And B. Still Maintain My Hollywood Career ! - I would Even Try to have a career IN Bollywood ( Indian Movies ) But something about The Language barrier , A severe allergy to Curry !!! , and Being Threatened By Some of My Ungrateful Yeti Cousins!!!! Put the KYbosh on that Idea ! We're very Territorial what can I say >? Anyway ! Or is it AMway ? I get confused sometimes ! I Just dropped by to let Y'all Know That I'm still around Even Though I'm not Posting as Often !!! We are a Stealthy & sometimes solitary Lot !!! and NO Cincyrob I was'nt in Solitary ! SHUT Up and Shave your head again !!!LOL!IN closing ( Finally I Know!!!!) Might I Quote hat Famous Human Author Samuel Clemens/Mark Twain " Rumors of My death are Somewhat Premature " SO Good Luck , Safe Diving , Happy Case Hunting and Always Remember to lift The Lids Because { In Dumpsters No One can hear You Scream } LOL- Peace Out & CIAO!!!!!!!!!!!

    ChrisC586- Great Going !!! - I was begining to think the Diving community had gone dormant !!!!!!!! You have restored my faith in DunpsterDom LOL!! Sorry to hear about The bee's though Be Careful !!! Perhaps it's Time to add a Can or 2 of bee-pop!!! to the Dumpster Divers toolkit ? Also If the Bees turn out to be wasp it's even worse because unlike honeybees who die when they sting you !!! Wasp can sting you over and over again if you don't kill them !!!! Just a friendly Heads up ! and remember - " FREE IS FREE !!!!" & Head Down Feetz UP!!!" Ciao Buddy !!!

    Sick people? Nah, just people who have slightly different motivations in life. Remember, Indian Jones searched thru jungles and the desert looking for old "Junk".
    Sick people, look, the guy worships diving in dumpsters and worships a team specializing in diving to the bottom of the standings, I see poetic symmetry in his alignment of his life's ambitions.
    Dive on Rob, Dive on!
    Besides, if you anger the master of the mudbugs, he may summon up one of those special swamp curses and float some swamp gas up your direction.

    Just a footnote, the chinese restaurant nearby set out three vending pedestals out back of their shop, someone tried to steal the gumball machine, dropped it and broke it in the back parking lot, now there are hundreds of gumballs rolling around, getting squished by delivery trucks. No one has stolen the sticker machine nor the "Homies" figurine dispenser yet. I think they just wanted the things to go away.

I went to my favorite Blockbuster For to swap out some rentals & Found to my Suprise that some Kind employee had Placed Three clear Plastic Garbage bags nearly Full of DVD cases ! Right near the top of the Dumpster too!!! It was basically a snatch and grab ! I got all three bags and have Counted and packed them away already {220} Mostly lockable type & a few regular non locking cases no BOoGer Green ones but I ain''t Complaining ! And I did'nt even have to sort through fast food leftovers to get to them !!!! So I guess my drought is over again ? You cab never be too rich to thin or have too many dvd's& cases Later Y'all !!!
