I sense a future dumpster dive thread !!! Lemme tell ya, if you can get past the social stigmatism associated with hurling yourself into a refuse container, you would not believe what you can score ...

If it is not locked and has no signs on it indicating otherwise, it is FAIR GAME !!
:D

Always support local businesses if at all possible. Fight the Walmarts and Best Buys. I was on my way to Guitar Center a couple of weeks ago, but decided to check out a new locally owned place. I ended up with a free lesson, and a guitar amp that would have cost me nearly $300 at Guitar Center cost me $200 out the door (hookup on price + no tax since I paid cash).

To enlighten anyone who may find the fine art of refuse recycling to be not just a job, but an 'adventure', give this thread a read:

Note: I have never done it myself, but I wish I would have scored the crazy amount of hardware that my buddy did when he used to go container surfing.
