Dumpster diving

Dumpster diving is when people go through trash in search of things they can use or find valuable. Think of it like a treasure hunt, but instead of looking for gold and jewels, they look for things like food, clothes, or electronics that others have thrown away.

When people throw things away, they often think it's garbage and no longer useful. However, some things can still have value even if they're in the trash. People who go dumpster diving look for these things and take them home to use, sell, or give to others who may need them.

It's important to note that dumpster diving can be dangerous, as there may be sharp or hazardous objects in the trash. It's also important to respect the privacy of others and not trespass on private property to go dumpster diving. So, while it can be fun and exciting to find treasures in the trash, it's important to do it safely and responsibly.
