1. Is Dumpster Diving Safe?
This is entirely up to you. Most of the time it is! Make sure you wear clothes that cover your bottom half, as well as your feet and hands. Don't go dumpster diving at glass factories, or chemical plants! Then it wont be safe! But if you stick to usual places that you can find stuff you can actually use, then yes! it is always helpful!

2. Is Dumpster Diving Sanitary?
This also is entirely up to you! If you are going dumpstering for food, understand you will most likely be covered in old food. If you are comfortable with that then go ahead dive in! But if you do not like the idea of being covered in old food, then steer clear of food dumpsters! Also never take meat, dairy or need to be frozen items from the dumpster! Those are terribly unsanitary!

3. Is Dumpster Diving Legal?
In some places it is, in some places it isn't. But in my expierences, if cops pull up, they ask you what your doing and then make sure your not causing trouble, then they are on their way. As long as your not making a mess or being destructive, then you are good!

4. Why Dumpster Dive?
Because! For many reasons! So many people throw out perfectly god items and food, and if someone needs that, the company would rather throw it out then give it to those that could make use of it! So why let it go to waste? Man is so wasteful, and we can reduce that waste by using the stuff they arent going to use! That is why we dumpster dive! Also because you get free stuff, and the stuff you get can be used before it is sent to the dump to pollute the earth further.

8. I Found 600 (Insert Item), Should I Keep Them All?
My first instinct is to say no. No one needs 600 of anything unless theyre planning to help others, give them away or actually use them all. If you can, then please give them away if you are going to take them all. But hoarding items that can help others is a bad idea! Not to mention, it is also very greedy of you to do so!

Simply let them join in the festivities! Make new friends! Share what you found with them and talk about your hunt! It builds bridges and makes friendships!

10. Should I Sell The Stuff I Found?
Unless you're homeless (And if your in this guild, you most likely aren't), then I would say no, because you got it for free and you can give it to others to use and find a use for it. Don't Scam people, if you got it for free don't sell it!
