For the poor and/or homeless, dumpster diving can also be a means of finding food.

Many grocery stores will often throw out food that has reached its expiration date but is still edible; though some will donate such items to food banks or shelters for the homeless. Yet much is still pitched into the dumpster.

Edible food can also be found in restaurant dumpsters.

This is just my opinion, but I believe more dumpster divers are looking for food rather than the most recently replaced computers or cellphones.

I always take it to mean scouring through cast offs of any sort, looking for things you want, can use, repurpose, or otherwise find some value in.

going through trash for anything useful, really
A friend of mine worked at a private high school where the students were predominantly from wealthy families in Asia. Especially when they all flew home for summer break, the dumpsters were more like outlet malls. Like-new Nikes, ritzy backpacks - stuff that was more hassle to pack up and ship or fly home. They could afford to buy more.

@Mamapolo2016 That's a new outlook. Thanks for sharing.

A friend of mine dumpster dives and I've gone with her. Better during the cold months or the smells will knock you out. She has found all kinds of stuff. It's not always about a dumpster per say. Sometimes it's roadside or curbside. In my state anything left outside of a donation box is trash. You'd be amazed at what gets tossed.

Looking for confidential data...like printouts, passwords, minutes of meeting etc.

@Unlearn Now that's just boardering criminal offense
It means literally searching through dumpsters (trash receptacles) for [b]anything[/b]. Often the homeless search for food scraps.
