When they use the term 'dumpster diving', does this just mean searching through disposals for gadgets or tech or something else?

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.
