@bigtoxy,
You could have used him as a scout, tell him what you are looking for and he'll keep an eye out for those wonderful bags full of Blockbuster cases, I'm sure he'd love it if you gave him a bad full of burgers from Mickey D's or the like.

Toxy that homeless guy probably thought you were stealing his food. Better watch out for him or he'll close the lid on you. I've been pretty lucky I've never been approached by anyone (Police, BB, or homeless people). Good Luck to everyone and have a good weekend.

had my first run in with the cops because i decided to go dumpster diving in the part of town where the grass was much greener was kinda annoying because i had my little sister with me and they said i had to go home cause she's only 16 and something about a gay curfew and they followed me for a while so i just went home gonna go back out in about 30 minutes tho by myself so they wont have an exscuse we were going to jumbo video that was in a parking lot with a kroger and we were gonna go into the dumpster but we decided not to because there was some guy outside looking at us so we got back into the car and then thats when the cops pulled up she asked us what we were doing and i lied to her because i didnt want her to tell the stores to lock their dumpsters and i said i was gonna go into kroger she knew i was lying cause of the time and the store being closed but i didnt care cause she didnt have anything on me. good news is i went to another jumbo video closer to my house and found 9 movies 6 of them still in their original cases with the inserts some are scratched up but i'll just buy some brasso and fix that. here's what i found Red Eye, Four Brothers, Cross Bones, Lemony Snickets a series of unfortunate events, jarhead, bad news bears, beauty shop, and 8MM2, and one empty case.

went to the grocery store to buy milk and decided to head out to blockbuster too. i found two 2 disc cases with final fantasy IX discs 3 and 4, found sega tennis for PS2, NBA Live 99 for PS1, total number of cases from BB 3 cardboard, 3 doubles, and 2 clear. Didnt find alot this time but i get more out of the excitement of looking to see what i can find anyway. they threw away those VHS players they use to playback movies too, their was like 4 of them in suitcases in there i started to take one but i dont have any VHS tapes nor am i the type of person that likes to take things apart and play with them. Gonna Go to Office Depot and grab a pack of 100 DVD+R for 20 bucks and wait till next sunday morning to go diving again, Good luck to all you fellow divers and have a nice memorial day weekend.

Had a pretty decent dive this morning. 106 DVD, 26 BB lockables, 6 PSX, 4 Double, 3 Green, 2 White and 1 clear for a total of 148 cases.
None of them were in a bag so I had to jump in to rescue all of these. It's alot more fun diving in the warm weather.
Geroid04 nice find on the DVD's and games. Most of the DVD's I find are special features discs. I also like diving early Sunday mornings because nobodies around and I can dive in peace. Good luck everyone and Happy Diving!!!

Way to go Smacks. I had a good day on Friday. Not sure of how many but I did fill 2 trash cans. My dives are never really easy. First I pulled my car up so I could stand on the hood. I was with my favorite diving partner. After I couldn't lean in and scoop out anymore and realized my white capris were black I decided to jump in. There was soooooo much trash that it was hard to find a place to stand. My best friend and assistant stood on the outside and I handed her handfuls. We spotted a cop and I ducked inside and she was a nervous wreck saying it was time to go. He drove by and I was not about to leave just yet. Way too many cases to leave behind. The final straw was the case I handed her covered in puke. Yes throw-up. EWE!!! I did grab a few more and swung myself out. The smell was really bad. I felt so dirty. We ran into Walmart and scrubbed out hands. The smell was still on our hands so we needed to get some hand sanitizer. When I got home I threw all the dvd's on my front lawn and sprayed them down with a hose. Again and Again. Sprayed a little cleaner on them and rinsed. Then I stacked them in 2 trash cans. Then, there was the trunk of my car. I sprinkled some carpet deodorizer and left it open for a few hours...8. Oh yea, free is free, right boys???

Thanks herbsman!
Ok, y'all. It's open again. Let's hear about the dives you've made.
I haven't done any diving lately, but the manager gave me about 30 cases.

YO YO YO!!! Hi Big, so glad we are back. I will tell you that I felt solely responsible for the closing of this thread. The puke story was way over the top and I do apologize. I'll try to stay out of those dumpsters from now on. I was so distraught over that, that I haven't been in or near a dumpster since. BUT....I'm going to go back. Can't wait to hear everyones stories...............free is free.

well !
went to my main dumpster ! Just trash this time ! last trip found 1 case there & one at my second though usually unproductive dumpster! none at the third ! But the time before that I found A box with 35 movies /dvd 's in their Blockbuster locking cases . I snagged it with my hook and loaded in me truck . The locks were still in the locking cases unfortunately I could only get a few out without major deconstructive case surgery ! It hurt me literrally to cut them cases up ! that plastic is tough ! But I have more cases LOL! anyhow they were in as new to slightly scratched condition nothing that won't play thru anyways ! Various titles & multiple copies of several! lot's of christmas comedies , That had to be my best movie find of all time - I'm not in the big leagues yet but I'm swinging for the far wall! NailedNy maybe you should wear some galoshes next time you go trolling for cases in the world's biggest EMESIS basin !See I was a good boy I did'nt say P*ke once LOL!P*ke,P*ke,P*ke! Welcome Back ! See you in the Movies LOL!

I hit a few spots around town after hours (seems they keep an eye on stuff during the day now), but I managed to get about 22 double cases, and around 15 singles. Kind of a small haul on the singles but its my biggest double case grab to date! Gotta love BBs! :D

SolShrike- Good to hear from you again - our loyal cadre of Dumpsterkateers ! Are slowly drifting back . Or to paraphrase Monty Python "I'm not dead yet! I feel Happy ( Thump!!!) lol! SolShrike I guess everyone has a different opinion on what's a good dive ! For people such as yourself & NailedNy with Those 2 car garage -sized dumpster's and mega- case & movie finds your 37 cases was a small haul -for you I mean ! But you found a lot of doubles ! so that's good ! You had one of my average /normal dives - when I'm hitting 'em regular of course ! The last case only run I found 2 & I had to go to 2 BB's to do that! But I refuse to concede defeat - Or Smell De Feet ! Hygiene us everything LOL! As long as they dump I'll dive ! To Quote our Pontificating Potentate of Plastic & DemiGod of Dumpsterdom ! JVC "FREE IS FREE " & I agree ! Had'nt bought any dvd cases since I started diving & have'nt used up all the ones found so far ! But I'm always looking ! And One day I will find a Booger Green Double case ! open the portal to The Nega-verse and Rule the World Mu-HA,HA,HA HA, !!!!!!! Sorry My mind went to the BAHAMAS !! without me again ! LOL! SolShrike- Again good to hear from you & Welcome back ! .... OOOOOHHH !!!! , OOOH! OOOH ! Mister Kotter !!!! OOOH ! OOOH! - Sorry It did it again ! lol! Ciao!

Don't worry toxy. If I find a booger green double case, open up the nega-verse, and do indeed take over the universe... I won't forget you. Heck, I'll even name a continent after you.
Of course, you'll have to change your name to Austrailia...
:D

You said, "...something about a gay curfew and they followed me for a while so i just went home..."
Man, you should really call and complain to your local police precinct. It's completely discriminatory for you to be harassed like that and forced to go home early just because you're a homosexual.

Dude, I don't think he meant it like that.....I think what he means is that the curfew itself is 'gay' or 'stupid'
