Dumpster diving was pretty popular a number of years ago. I am not sure whether it is or not anymore, probably not. Once it got popularized, had a TLC show, etc., companies started taking precautions mentioned earlier in the thread to prevent people from stealing things that are supposed to be trash.

As pointed out, Chantal's always a decade behind on trends, which is true in this case too - but dumpster diving isn't really all that taboo, and isn't just popular with poor people. It used to be a thing.

I am surprised to hear that dumpster diving isn't taboo. It should be. Dumpster diving is disgusting and the people who engage in it are cheap and lazy and trying to avoid honest work.

It became a slightly big deal (enough to be reported in the media) because 'activists' did it to decry food waste, etc. Newspapers even to this day run articles of how XYZ lady saved zillions on her shopping bill by eating rotting shit-covered lettuce she found in a bin.

As somebody said, companies do take measures to prevent this now, ranging from lockable bins, to not putting anything worth taking in them. In a sense the pests in the headlines probably did encourage a little more surplus food to go donated, but almost all the good stuff goes to people who work at the business anyway, and always has done. If you work at a half-decent restaurant, you can get dozens or sometimes hundreds of dollars of produce a month if they have a lot going spare. If you work in a beauty store, you're taking that soap home before it hits the can.

The last time I heard about someone actually dumpster diving, it was on that TLC show about cheap people. It was some asian woman in NYC who dressed up like a bum before she went dumpster diving, because people left her alone when she did it, because they just assumed she was homeless and hungry I guess.

The only time I've seen a dumpster diving video that wasn't insufferable and being done by some smug asshole who thought they were saving the world, it was a guy checking out dumpsters behind pet stores looking for stuff for his reptile rescue. He ended up finding tanks, and some other supplies he could use. He said the main reason he did it regularly was because he'd found sick animals that had been thrown out by Petsmart/Petco, instead of paying to have them treated.

I don't trust someone like that at all not to lie, but if the animal story is true then the workers there are insane. I'd sooner behead a small animal myself before throwing it out than leave it to suffer to death in a bin, and I'm hellishly squeamish.

Don't worry. That is 100% a laah. Petco/Petsmart have a back room for sick animals. Whether they get properly treated or not is another argument, but they don't get "thrown away" dead or alive that's ridiculous. If animals die they put them in a deep freezer, not the trash. When the freezer is full they call a guy to come haul the load of dead frozen animals away and.. I don't know exactly. Incinerate them, probably.

If that really happened the store was fucking up big time. I happen to know someone who worked at BOLTH those shitty companies for a very long time and knows their ops.

edit: Now it would make sense if say, Walmart did something like that. Because they sell pets but aren't a pet store I could see how they wouldn't have a sick room, a freezer for dead animals, etc etc and might just throw dead or even sick animals in the trash. 🤢

For the little I know, places who sell cosmetics and beauty products in Canada won’t trash the good, unopened/unused stuff. It’s given to employees or donated to women shelters.

What Chantal found in the bin is what you would expect : trash. Rather it’s testers, products opened and swatched before being put back in the display, returned products, etc. Basically a potential soup of random bacterias. She can’t even hope for unopened expired stuff because it’s usually returned to the company to be exchanged. Same goes for discontinued products; they’re sent back to the company.

Chantal would be better off visiting a shelter in her dirty binge shirt and greasy hair to get the good, free stuff than digging in a dumpster.

Chantal, this isn’t a suggestion.
Don’t you dare.

"Oh hun you look terrible, who hurt you?"

"Those dang dirty Kiwis!"

Given her increasing amounts of munching and hiding behind fat advocacy, it's a nasty thought, but that type of charity fraud might not be too far beyond her any more. I'm sure she could rationalise it in some way to get that sweet, sweet attention.

A lot of businesses have their dumpster equipped with a trash compactor that is closed off from the outside to save costs and stop dumpster diving. Something small like McDonald's will have theirs be easily accessible but not something big like Walmart.

The best stuff can actually be found in residential areas the night before waste management comes to collect. A lot of Canadians are wasteful and throw away a lot of good things for no reason. Dumpster diving is not even required as it is all there lying on the side of the road ready for collection.

The buyers know it’s all likely crawling with the Ulta version of the plague. The Facebook groups have to be closed because concerned people report them and they get shut down often. But the people know the exact origins of this shit and the lure of cheap Urban Decay testers is worth it. Some may be into it because the testers in the original packaging or display could be collectors items or used for very specific photo shoots but if that was the case there’d be no reason to treat it like the cosmetic version of Fight Club.


When I was post-college, it was kind of fun to dumpster dive because I lived in a college town where rich kids disposed of everything at the end of the spring semester because they could just buy it all again and it was easier to throw it away than to move it home or into a storage unit. Almost new Target level furniture, dishes, pans, coffee makers, decor items, brand new unopened cleaning supplies, vacuums and on and on. And most of it was stacked next to the dumpsters. After finals you basically just drove to the apartments around the college and it was like the world’s cheapest yard sale. I never grabbed food but they’d throw out unopened bags of pasta, ramen, cookies. This was a while ago and I don’t know if it is the same now but people who lived near colleges like Pepperdine, SMU or Auburn during the Clinton administrations didn’t have to buy Tide or trashbags or dishes unless they felt like they wanted to.

But crawling around to get unneeded bath and beauty items that are likely testers and customer returns and subject to all kinds of contamination is a weird choice unless you’re a hardcore freegan environmentalist and they wouldn’t want this shit themselves because of all the packaging and chemicals. If Chantal had strep and is facing surgery, it’s all the more bizarre for her to risk her health even if she is just doing it for blog content.

I used to dumpster dive a fabric store when they threw away their patterns (for me, not to sell, lol); but that was thirty years ago, the dumpster was clean and there were no cameras everywhere like there are now. She might want to watch out she doesn't get popped for tresspassing since a) she is exactly the kind of liability they are afraid of if she hurts herself or needs professional assistance getting back out and b) she is far too fat to run fast to avoid detection, which ya gotta do sometimes when diving.

When stores go through the process of returns, exchanges, testers and sometimes even getting damaged goods in the original shipments, they set them aside (in my experience) till trash day. Then they let the employees rifle through it after theyve delete it all from the inventory sheets (if your manager is cool), and then they destroy the stuff even further (to the point of it being unusable) before taking it to the outside bins to discourage divers from taking it, sometimes even locking them (as others have said). Back in the day though you used to could get some nice stuff from a bin because the popularization of dumpster diving hadn't been established yet. I never had to buy my favorite paperbacks one summer bc the Winn Dixie would throw them out as soon as the new season hit. BBW would def not be the first place Id hit up tho..But im not exceptional enough at this time to see what all she has in her local area that would be better.
