Want ya'll to know that I think about my kiddies and don't let them go in without something to wash them up afterwards. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. LOL.
@cincyrob,
Take paper towels and hand cleaner, those boys will get dirty I guarantee it. ;P

Just watch out guy's, people throw everything in the dumpsters. Wear gloves at least. And, yes, bring something to clean up with.

Don't Think My Grandkids would go gor it ? Dumpster Diving I mean ! The oldest Turns 15 in July ( Born on the 4th of July ) Just like the song ! And he's Just too cool ( Or Thinks he is ) & His voice is changing Right Now & that makes being cool even harder ! The little one ? well Younger one he's getting bigger everyday Would probably Enjoy it ? But I don't Think That a My wife Would let him !Granny Rules ! Or My Beautiful But Petite Step daughter would allow it ? And Given the choice I would rather Juggle Chainsaws and pitbulls than to get that girl Mad !!! Trust me ! Her Mom ( The wife ) can get mean But My StepDaughter Can get downright Evil !!!! LOL! Myself I Use a Hook made out of Rebar , a Reacher Gadjet & Some hand sanitizer among other Tools !!!!

BT....I guess I'm just a purist. My gear consists of a snorkel...flashlight...extra garbage bag. I'm like a hasidic diver...minus the curls and funky hat.

hey chris nice haul buddy.
you dont have to worryb bout the dishwasher.if you have a cold cylce on it just dont use any hot water.. i have a china setting on mine very delicate cycle i guess... most of the time i just use some windex and spay them down and just hand wipe them...
as far as the ones you found that were boxed up.. ive found a few hundred of them like that. ive never even thought about wipeing them down.. thats just me.. havent had a problem with them haven anything on them...
once again good haul
@JVC
nice to see ya. its been awhile.
yea i forgot 250 movies still in the cases.. WOW. most i ever found was 2..lol

RippDogg- You'd look Kewl in the Hat ! Just like Boy George Only Much, Much More Butch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! My Urban Survival Dumpster Diving Kit Consist of a Reacher /Grabber like the older folks use ! , a Pulling Hook made from ReBar That I dumpster dived from work !,A Plunger cup ona six foot Broom handle ! My two hands Garbage bags and Lots Of sanitizer !!!!!!!!!! . Most of the time I just use the Grabber & my hands With occasional turns with hook to snag boxes & bags ! The plunger Idea does'nt work as good as I thought iot would in the field! OH yeah! I almost forgot I got a Collapsable three Prong garden rake just incase it might work ! ChrisC586 - Congrats on your successful dive ! I would say they -the dvd cases shuld be Hot & soapy water safe although I have yet to try them in a Dishwasher !!!! If you are willing to experiment I would try only one at first & then only on the top shelf of the dishwasher!!! & I would also probably just go the air Dry cycle vs. the heated drying cycle ! Perhaps you could try putting a few in a Pillow case and running them through the washing machine on warm ? Probably get beat up though? Just like you would if your wife, Girlfriend or Mom catches you doing that!!!!!!!!!! Whichever category of female personages applies to your case Pun not intended ! Though You could possibly try the washing machine route at a laundromat Just don't run''em in the dryer & bring lots's of Quarters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL! Things that make you go HHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! Will try my Local Blockbuster Today weather permiting But Unless they dumped this morning It 's probably a Big Green Above ground pool Becuase of the local rainfall the last few days !!!! But hey It does'nt hurt to look anyway ? Who knows ? maybe those wonderful Bags full of Dvd Cases that JVC Mentions will have floated to the top & be easier to get to ? It could happen !!!!! Nice to see the Thread active again anyways Good luck everyone Happy Cinco De mayo !!!!!! and Safe Diving !!!!!

Rain, It was more like Noah's flood here. Over 6" at my house on Friday. The rain gauge was full to the top, so don't really know how much over 6" we got.

You need to look at the rain positively. It cleanses the cases, eliminates the need for that weekly shower I'm always dreading, and best of all I get to use my snorkel. Scares the hell out of the Blockbuster girl...

Went to BB last night got 2 empty cases.On the way to work this morning and at the bottom of the dumpster of course a box with a 134 case with movies in them and 1 cut in half movie poster. [ wonder what the school bus and other people thought about an old man in the dumpster] Spent the morning at work taking out the locks. RippDogg that gave me a chuckle if this keeps up I'll need to put a rain barrel along side the house for the cases and my monday afternoon monthly. Chris

Stopped to check yesterday at a couple of places and only found bags of those case inserts with the company logo on them. Less than worthless.
Stopped today and scored two bags of cases, 150 in all. Nice and clean in double, clear trash bags. There were 2 with movie disks still in them, both in like new condition. Nowhere near the 250 movie haul though. No need for the dishwasher trick.
Haven't taken any pictures, you all know what empty cases look like. But, I am going to need to rent a storage facility for all the cases. lol.

I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not. LOL. I guess that means that I'm your friend? NOW I could have left the WWE mags tho. NOT my thing because the acting is terrible. hehehe.
I've come up dry the last few trips and haven't been for a couple of weeks so I guess I need to try again soon. :)
@Rulisky - nice haul buddy, keep it up and you'll have to open your own store. ;)

I haven't dived in maybe a year. My best dumpsters are in citys that passed laws making dumpster diving illegal. I have boxes and boxes of sorted and cleaned blockbuster cases. So I don't need any but the urge is very powerful. I am jealous. There is only a couple things better than the feeling of pulling up to that dumpster and finding the mother load. Dive on people.
