Dumpster Diving

As a seasoned dumpster diver, I can tell you a few things about getting free food, clothing, items, shelter and other delicious tidbits out of the refuse bins that often adorn dark alleys and behind sinister big, impersonal corporate monoliths (bruahaha). I know a fair amount about laws, what corporations use compactors instead of dumpsters, and a host of other things. However, since I'm not paid to write essays or give interviews about subjects I know a lot about (but if you'd like to pay me, [kristi][@][diyhappy][dottt][com], I can arrange it), and I frequently wear skirts (which means I'm a lady, and ladies don't do nasty things like wade through garbage), I'll just point you in the right direction:
