Dumpster Diving

Dumpster diving, also called totting, skipping, skip diving or skip salvage, is the practice of salvaging items from large commercial, residential, industrial and construction containers that have been discarded by their owners but are still useful to whoever retrieves them. People dumpster dive for clothing, furniture, food and many other kinds of usable items. Many take it up out of economic necessity, but others pursue it for ideological reasons, as paid or unpaid work, as an academic exercise, or simply for the enjoyment of the search and the find, so alongside its practical motivations it also functions as a recreational pursuit for some enthusiasts.
